What we do

VSO Jitolee works through volunteers – international and local professionals who share their skills and creativity in the fight against global poverty.

International volunteering

VSO Jitolee recruits skilled volunteers, from Kenya and Uganda, with relevant professional qualifications and a minimum of two years work experience from a range of disciplines to live and work in local communities (in Africa and Asia), sharing skills and changing lives for periods between six months and two years. Volunteer with us.

To achieve sustainable change, VSO addresses causes as well as symptoms of development needs through six goal areas:

• education

• disability

• HIV and AIDS

• health

• secure livelihoods

• participation and governance.

VSO Jitolee has developed partnerships with a wide range of local partners in Kenya to access skilled professionals in the areas of disability, HIV and AIDS, and secure livelihoods recruited from Uganda, Netherlands, UK, Canada, Philippines and India to support our national development agendas.

The national volunteering programme is focused on the other goal areas of disability, HIV and AIDS and secure livelihoods.
