Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that utilises volunteers to deliver high impact development and humanitarian projects. Since we started operating in Pakistan in 1987, VSO engaged the skills and expertise of international specialist volunteers and national and community volunteers by placing them in over 70 partner organisations across Pakistan to support livelihood, education, health, and Safe Peaceful and Resilient Communities resilience initiatives. Volunteering provides the foundation for systemic and sustainable change through a focus on inclusion, participation, empowerment, social action, ownership, and accountability. VSO employs a relational volunteering model which enables people, and in turn their organisations and communities, to play a central role in their own development.
