Our partners

VSO is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that delivers human and financial resources to organisations in developing countries. These organisations can be:

  • grassroots NGOs

  • teacher training institutes

  • local government

  • chambers of commerce.

Normally they are not-for-profit groups in need of a helping hand who are striving to make a difference in their local communities.

VSO calls these organisations our ‘partners’ and we work in long-term strategic partnership with them, helping them achieve their goals.

We work in over 40 countries, and VSO partners are located in all the countries in which we work and volunteers are placed in these organisations, but supported by VSO.
