How your donation helps

With your support, we can achieve long-lasting positive impact.

Instead of sending food or money, your support allows VSO to send skilled volunteers to share their knowledge and experience with the people who need it most.

Our member organizations work in over 40 of the world’s poorest countries helping the men, women and children living in poverty help themselves.

Your support ensures that our skilled, committed volunteers have the training and support that will enable them to achieve meaningful change. Your donation enables us to meet the challenges of development head-on by designing projects in collaboration with the people most affected. With your help we will continue to play a significant role in the fight against poverty and disadvantage.

And because our volunteers work as part of nationally and locally managed programs, this means that the benefits continue to be realised long after the volunteers return home.
