About VSO

VSO is an international development charity that works through volunteers. Our vision is a world without poverty in which people work together to fulfil their potential. Our volunteers help tackle disadvantage in some of the world's poorest countries, bringing people together to share skills, creativity and learning to build a fairer world.

You'll be encouraging the sustainable use of natural resources

People in some of the world’s poorest communities rely on their surrounding environment to survive. More effective management of marine and terrestrial resources can create local employment opportunities and generate income for the community. Read how volunteers are currently working at grassroots level to achieve this in Cambodia »

You'll be making a real contribution to development

Working with local partners at community level, you’ll be helping disadvantaged people initiate strategies, which will strengthen their future ability to make a viable living. Enhancing food security and increasing productivity are key objectives of a forthcoming programme in Malawi. Read more about potential volunteering options for agriculturalists and irrigation engineers »
