Unlocking the power of people to create lasting change
Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) Ireland, part of the VSO International family, brings about change not by sending aid. We unlock the power of people - local, national and international experts and partners - to work alongside some of the world’s poorest and most marginalised people to build generational change.
