About VSO

VSO is the world’s leading international development charity that works through volunteers to create a fair world for everyone. At VSO we pride ourselves in doing development differently. We fight poverty not by sending aid, but by working through volunteers and partners to create long-lasting change in some of the world’s poorest regions. We bring key stakeholders together to coordinate collective action, from local organisations to national governments. Our programmes in Africa and Asia focus on health, education and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience, peacebuilding, social accountability, gender and social inclusion. We’re not about delivering quick fixes, but instead we focus on long-lasting, sustainable change that will improve the lives of generations to come. 

VSO started working in Rwanda in 1998 at the invitation of the government. Since then, VSO has had footprints in disability inclusion, Education, Health and Livelihood. Currently VSO implements 3 major projects namely, 1. Twigire mu Mikino Rwanda (TMR), 2. Make Way, and 3. Active Citizenship Through Inclusive Volunteering and Empowerment (ACTIVE). VSO has also just concluded a big Project called Building Learning Foundations which reached about 5 million children in P1-P5.
