What we’re doing in Timor-Leste

In the 2016-17 year, VSA volunteers undertook 31 assignments with 11 partner organisations in Timor-Leste. The young country’s bourgeoning business and NGO sector has made it the ideal place for VSA to pioneer new volunteering models, with e-volunteering allowing volunteers to support their organisations from a distance, and hub and spokes assignments allowing volunteers to sit with one partner organisation but provide support to many more. VSA continued its work in education, a key area of need given the young population and the demand for vocational training.

The number of children completing secondary school is low and unemployment rate is high in Timor-Leste especially among young people, who represent over 60 percent of the population. Working with vocational training providers, our volunteers are helping to ensure young people have access to training which equips them for employment. VSA volunteers work with a variety of public, private and civil society organisations. VSA‘s goal of expanding the programme to district level continues to progress. Approximately 70 per cent of the population live in rural areas and practice subsistence agriculture. The financial, administrative, management, marketing, agricultural and horticultural, water and sanitation, English language teaching, tourism, event management and more recently climate change knowledge and experiences our volunteers share help individuals, organisations, communities, and government bodies to improve the lives of all people in Timor-Leste

Volunteers undertook assignments with the Dili Institute of Technology (DIT), Sentru Treinamentu Vokasional Juventude, Xanana Gusmao Reading Room and Ba Futuru. These partners provide education directly or support the education sector and Timorese youth.
