Welcome to the VOSESA website!

The aim of this website is to support the growing impetus for service and volunteering programmes in the southern African region.

VOSESA focuses on service and volunteering in the SADC region.

SADC comprises: Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Why VOSESA?

Service and volunteerism are increasingly becoming important strategies for fostering greater involvement in social, economic and political life among youth as well as communities more widely.

VOSESA has been set up to profile, link and add to the growing knowledge base about service and volunteerism programmes in southern Africa.

New in September 2003!

Service Enquiry is a series of publications focusing on the latest developments in service and volunteering policy and programmes, and on the impact of service on democratic values, citizenship and socio-economic development. The first edition of Service Enquiry is being launched by the Global Service Institute in partnership with Volunteer and Service Enquiry Southern Africa (VOSESA), Johannesburg, South Africa.
