VSO Bahaginan

VSO is an international development organization that works through, and with, volunteers. We promote volunteering to fight poverty and disadvantage, bringing people from different cultures together to share skills, creativity and learning to build a fairer world.

VSO volunteers live and work alongside colleagues in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Since 1958, more than 30,000 volunteers have shared their skills overseas through VSO, working in the areas of education, HIV and AIDS, disability, health and social well-being, secure livelihoods, and participation and governance.

VSO responds to needs identified by our partners overseas, and seeks to recruit, prepare and place volunteers in response to requests from those partners. More than 1,500 VSO volunteers are currently working in 30 of the world’s poorest countries. VSO is the largest international volunteering of its kind in the world.

VSO Bahaginan, the National Partner Agency of VSO in the Philippines, leads the convergence of people to share skills, creativity and learning by sending committed youth and professionals to volunteer in developing countries, and promoting national volunteering in the Asia-Pacific region, to build a fairer world. It is registered as a non-stock, non-profit organization with the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission.
