All Hands responds to the needs of communities impacted by the immediate devastation from natural disasters by engaging and leveraging volunteers, partner organizations and local communities to help homeowners by participating in activities like ‘mucking and gutting’ after a flood, ‘rubbling’ after an earthquake, or safe demolition for buildings that are deemed to be dangerous.

All Hands works together with communities to meet their longer term needs by rebuilding the basic ‘hubs’ of the community, including homes, schools,, day care facilities and community centres.

All Hands aims to become part of the fabric of the communities that they serve in order to better understand how they can direct help and support. Volunteers are encouraged to engage with the community, setting up social projects such as weekly movie nights for children in the area, English classes for the community, hosting a ‘family’ style meal for volunteers and locals alike or having an evening of world music and dancing. It is this personal engagement with the local community coupled with the physical rebuilding work that makes volunteering with All Hands such a memorable experience.
