Livelihood Women and Youth Economic Empowerment Volunteer
Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)
Volunteer Opportunity VSO is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes volunteering as a powerful and practical way to tackle poverty and inequality. Our purpose is to create lasting change through volunteering.
At VSO, we believe in bringing about change, not by sending aid, but by working with volunteers and partners to empower people in some of the world’s poorest and most fragile regions. We know that people in developing countries have the desire, power, courage and determination to shape their own futures.
Through our Volunteering for Development (VfD) approach, we put the most marginalised people first. Grounded in years of evidence and learning, this approach develops active citizens who drive local community-led change and deliver sustainable development goals long after a project or grant ends.
To provide technical expertise and strategic guidance to Civil Society Groups (CSGs) particularly women and youth groups to strengthen their capacity in financial literacy, saving culture, income generation, financial inclusion. The volunteer supports CSGs such as women’s farmer collectives, savings and loan associations, and disaster risk reduction committees in Sussundenga, Mozambique enable them to become self-reliant and self sustaining.
As part of the global volunteer network, this volunteer role works alongside other volunteers and the VSO team to tailor support to each CSG’s context, readiness, to enhance their capacity for financial sustainability, fundraising and local resource mobilisation advocacy efforts for inclusive economic growth, women and youth empowerment, DRR, and climate resilience to promote sustainable livelihoods for marginalised people.
