VSO Connect – an integrated online platform for voluntary social welfare organizations. It empowers grassroots initiatives and voluntary groups in Bangladesh by providing affordable digital infrastructure that enhances online visibility, communication, and outreach. Dedicated exclusively to nonprofit entities, this initiative delivers digital tools, training, and governance frameworks that foster transparency, accountability, and collaboration. Its core programs—Digital Presence, Literacy & Capacity Building, Communication & Outreach, Governance & Compliance, and Networking & Collaboration—equip organizations with sustainable solutions to serve communities more effectively.
The Organization for Welfare Services (OWS) complements VSO Connect as a nonprofit-led communication and listings platform, cataloging all Voluntary Social Welfare Organizations (VSOs) through VSO.BD. This platform enables organizations to share their missions and impact stories while helping donors connect and contribute with trust and clarity. Revenue generated from service fees is reinvested to expand outreach and sustain the ecosystem, blending nonprofit values with financial sustainability for lasting social impact.
