Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries. More specifically, it is a recruitment agency which finds, selects,  and laces volunteers in response to overseas requests. This work makes it distinctive among other charities and organizations in the U.K. It sends people, not money abroad.

VSO tries to respond to requests from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its bias is firmly towards the poorest members of the community and it takes great care to avoid undermining job opportunities for local people. 

Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women’s roles in developments projects. This is because women’s roles in child rearing, in education and community cohesion are essential in any healthy process of change.

The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates against each job request from the field, to seek the person with the right blend of skills and personality. Chosen volunteers will have the opportunities to acquire better understanding about life and people everywhere.
