Some
background about VSO
Much has
changed since VSO started 60 years ago. We’ve gone from being a UK charity to a
truly global development organisation. In 2016/2017 alone, we worked with over
7,000 volunteers from all over the world and from all backgrounds to deliver
services that had an impact on the lives of almost 2.6 million people in the 24
countries where we work. Our programmes focus on the areas of health, education
and livelihoods, with an increasing emphasis on resilience building, social
accountability, gender and social inclusion.
We
believe progress is only possible when we work together and that strong
partnerships are crucial to delivering positive change. That’s why we work with
over 500 partner organisations, from local and national governments, to
businesses, NGOs, funders, charities and community groups. Currently, over 30%
of our people ar
e recruited from within the country in which they work, and we
continue to grow the share of community and national volunteers involved in our
programmes. We also send increasing numbers of volunteers from one developing
country to another. However, our vision has remained the same; to build a world
without poverty.
Only
Nationals (Tanzanians) are encouraged to Apply.
