About VSO
"I wanted to do something for a charity that somehow helped people in Africa. This, coupled with the fact that I like mad challenges led me to sign up for the Challenge".
Adela Hussain - Kilimanjaro Challenge Trekker 2006
VSO was voted top international development charity in the International Aid and Development category at the Charity Awards 2004 for its work in promoting innovative approaches to globalising volunteering.
Our approach to volunteering has changed dramatically over the years. We no longer send school-leavers - today the average age of a volunteer is 38 and most placements are for two years. We are a leading development charity with almost 2,000 skilled professionals currently working in some of the world's poorest countries.
This section provides a brief overview about our work but look at our website for more information.
