For over 60 years, Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) has provided technical assistance in education, health, and livelihoods to host country governments, communities, and local nongovernmental organizations through a network of global staff and highly skilled specialized volunteers. Our unique relational volunteering model provides the essential pre-conditions for systemic and sustainable change by fostering trust to create equitable, resilient and inclusive locally driven solutions. Currently, VSO works in 23 countries across sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
VSO’s education programming promotes equitable and inclusive access to quality learning and skill development to the most disadvantaged children and young people. We work in basic education in both formal and non-formal education systems in the areas of education system strengthening, education in emergencies, gender and social inclusion, youth engagement, and social accountability. VSO programs’ aim to create systematic change by actively engaging actors at all levels, including parents, children, communities, teachers, education managers, head teachers, and political and education leaders.
