Sponsor a Volunteer today

Siad, a VSO community volunteer in his community in Kenya.

Sponsor a VSO volunteer and see first-hand the difference you'll be making.

Sponsor a Volunteer gives you an incredibly effective way to make a positive change to global inequality and injustice.

Your sponsorship will help place VSO volunteers where the need is greatest and where they can really make a lasting change. With your support, volunteers will share their unique skills and expertise to empower marginalised communities to access essential education, healthcare and secure livelihoods.

You'll also receive regular and exclusive updates from a volunteer, insights into the work of former volunteers, and you'll get to really see the impact you're making.
