Would you give two years for a lifetime of experience?
Becoming a VSO volunteer could be the defining adventure of your life. The communities you work with will find their potentials transformed. And you too will be altered in the most rewarding ways.
Over 500 Filipino professionals have chosen to lead extraordinary lives, working with organizations and communities in over 40 developing countries.
VSO Bahaginan believes in the transformative power of volunteering. Your donation will help to support our development programs in the Philippines in areas such as peace building in Mindanao, sustainable livelihood and community development.
We need professionals who are skilled in preparing funding proposals and project action plans to help raise funds for much needed anti-poverty projects and train local colleagues.
Almost two million people have been affected by the floods in the Philippines. Hundreds of these are people with disabilities and their families who have been left without food, shelter and wheelchairs. Donate now.
Wherever you fundraise for VSO Bahaginan or take part in our challenges and events, there are many ways you can play an active part in fighting global poverty and disadvantage.
