2016 ANNUAL REPORT
This is an exciting time full of possibility and potential for All Hands Volunteers. From my vantage point as its founder, I look at our development in 5 year segments: 2005-2010 The foundation for All Hands Volunteers was built the week after Katrina hit when we engaged hundreds of spontaneous volunteers in the response effort. Our experience in response grew over the next five years and across multiple disasters as our limited staff focused on engaging spontaneous “ordinary” volunteers primarily in international response projects. This manner of engaging volunteers remains foundational to our model today. 2010-2015 Because the magnitude of the Haiti earthquake was so great, we launched our first recovery effort, which included rebuilding 20 schools, still one of my personal high points. Then, in the Philippines, and in NYC following Hurricane Sandy, we committed years to each of these projects and they, in return, taught us about the “art of post-disaster recovery”. We also developed our model of working with (and training) the local labor force, first in the Philippines and today in Nepal. 2016 I’m proud of the strength and reputation we’ve developed. Our paid staff now numbers about one hundred, with 85% providing experienced leadership in the field. And our professional staff, led by Executive Director Erik Dyson, provides real results while maximizing the revenues spent directly on helping those impacted by disaster. As a result, we are now strong enough to reach more people in need. Toward this end, we have been able to engage in more response and recovery programs in 2016 than ever before. With our solid foundation in place, this is a time of strength for All Hands Volunteers. We are so grateful for the generosity of our supporters that has built that foundation one brick at a time. David Campbell Founder
When I have the privilege of visiting our programs and meeting families still reeling from disaster and volunteers that have put their lives aside to help, I consistently hear the word “Hope”. Hope for a fresh start, hope for the good in humanity, and hope for a brighter future. And as Thich Nhat Hahn said, “If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” Facts and figures do matter (and there are plenty of those in the ensuing report), but what matters most is the farreaching impact our staff and volunteers have on the individual lives of people and families around the world as we muck out basements and rebuild homes and schools. I’m proud to say that each and every day, in ways that are sometimes difficult to measure, All Hands Volunteers is neck and elbow deep in Rebuilding Hope. This is the power in engaging passionate and committed “ordinary” people to lend a hand to families staggering from something so paralyzing as a natural disaster. In the end, all of us are transformed in the process. We could not do this without you; our generous supporters, amazing staff, local and international partners, and tireless volunteers- each of whom has chosen to shake off the weight of cynicism, replacing it with a healthy dose of hope that together, we really can make a difference. Erik Dyson Executive Director and CEO

*Core Programs are those that have been active for over one year and have evolved from Response to Recovery.
I’m so happy that you made us a home. The volunteers work so hard. They cleared the rubble and it looks so good. After good things, all people have hope. I am hopeful. Salina is a 23 year old woman from Nepal who lost her two young sons in the earthquake.
VOICES OF DISASTER I am thankful to God for all the volunteers who came. We didn’t expect such big help from all those that built the bamboo house. I love it and also them. I carry them in my heart. Maria and her husband Roberto have lived in the same house in Ecuador for 30 years. This April, they lost their home in the Earthquake in Ecuador.
My dad owned this land since 1940. I’ve been awake a lot of nights thinking about what do I need to do next. That went on for months. Then All Hands came along and boy that was a life saver. Norman from South Carolina
The last time it flooded was 150 years ago but this was the first time the water was forceful. It was strong enough to tip over deep freezers. We rushed to our cousin’s house on the hill and watched as the water rose. Some waited for the water to go down so they could drive their car but it just kept on rising and we had to be saved with boats. Evelyn is from Louisiana and her family has owned and lived on their land there for 150 years.
Cyclone Winston completely destroyed our house and our source of income. We have only two most important houses in our daily lives- the place where we sleep and eat, and the toilet. We received a gift from All Hands Volunteers - To build and construct a new toilet. It’s a very special moment because we never expected this to happen. Ulaiasi from Fiji

Our Mission
Rebuilding Hope
All Hands Volunteers is a US-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging and leveraging volunteers, partner organizations and local communities. Our vision is to demonstrate the power and value of volunteer service through the tangible work done, the hope it brings to suffering communities and the transformative experiences it provides for volunteers.
We are proud to say that All Hands Volunteers is the leading disaster relief organization powered by volunteers. Over the last 12 years, we have enabled over 37,701 volunteers to donate more than 200,000 days impacting at least 500,000 people all over the globe. And in the process of responding, recovering and renewing the communities we serve, we are transformed by the resilience, hope and strength found in the hearts of the people we meet. And that is why All Hands isn’t just about responding or recovering after disaster. We’re about Rebuilding Hope - in all of us.
07.
What We Do RESPOND We respond 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 engaging in activities like “mucking and gutting” after a flood, “rubbling” after an earthquake, or safe demolition of buildings that are dangerous.
RECOVER We work together with communities to meet their longer term needs by rebuilding the basic “hubs” of a community, including homes, schools, day care facilities, and community centers.
RENEW We become part of the fabric of the communities we serve. As we do so, we uncover new ways that we can serve and encourage our volunteers to meet these needs where feasible. Projects have included weekly movie nights for kids in Malawi to offset the devastation with smiles and laughter, holding weekly English tutoring sessions in the Philippines, or hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for hundreds of flood victims in Detroit.
08.
What Makes Us Unique We are all about Creative Problem Solving:
We Rebuild Together with Local Homeowners and
Every disaster brings unique challenges. We discover the specific needs of those whom we serve and create solutions to fit those needs... not the other way around.
Community Members:
We Focus on the Greatest Need: While there are almost always multiple communities heavily impacted by a natural disaster, All Hands Volunteers is deeply committed to fleshing out the most under-served communities which are often outside of the public eye.
A key objective for All Hands Volunteers is to work together with members of the community. We also offer job training opportunities and certification programs according to the needs of the community.
We Provide a Free, Open Door for Every Volunteer:
We recognize that local organizations understand the needs of their communities better than we do so we work with, and not against, them.
All Hands Volunteers strongly believes in the untapped power of the individual when driven by a desire to make a difference. We take a unique approach and accept spontaneous volunteers from any background, providing on-the-job training free of charge. This broadens our capability to help those in distress, offers a transformative experience to those who serve with us, and brings a wider pool of skills to the relief effort.
We Solve for the Long Term:
We Learn from Those We Serve:
All Hands Volunteers doesn’t just respond to the initial damage sustained by disaster, we stay onsite and rebuild as long as the need exists. All Hands Volunteers averages 148 days on a program and, as such, always has an eye toward the long term.
In the process of responding, rebuilding, and renewing the communities that we serve, we are transformed by the resilience, hope, and strength we find in the hearts of the people we meet. That is why All Hands Volunteers isn’t just about responding or rebuilding after a disaster. We’re about rebuilding hope in all of us.
We Collaborate with Local, National, and International Partners:

NEPAL EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE/RECOVERY In April 2015, a massive 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal, causing over 9,000 deaths and crippling destruction of homes, schools and infrastructure. It was the worst of its kind in 80 years. All Hands Volunteers has now been in Nepal for 15 months and 1,805 volunteers have joined us, generously donating almost 200,000 hours toward putting families back in homes and kids back in schools in Kathmandu, Sindhupalchok and Nuwakot. We have simultaneously launched numerous community projects such as masonry training, school reading projects, and even weekly movie nights. After more than a year, the Nepali people are still in dire need, so we are still hard at work. Moving forward, All Hands Volunteers will focus our efforts on the one goal that will forever shape the future of Nepal - getting the children back to school.

LEYTE TYPHOON RESPONSE/RECOVERY In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history, tore through the Philippines; ripping up farms, leveling villages and leaving 1.1 million homes damaged or destroyed. After months of clearing debris and demolishing unsafe buildings, All Hands Volunteers focused our efforts on building hundreds of homes. Most recently, we came across another NGO called Streetlight, which was created to better the lives of street children by getting them off the street, and their residences had been completely destroyed. We determined that we could use our expertise to help these kids by building a new dormitory, study center and clinic - this time, farther from the water- and that is just what we did.
SAMAR TYPHOON RESPONSE/RECOVERY Due to its location on the eastern coast of Samar, the small town of Hernani was left in a state of ruins when Typhoon Haiyan swept through. When the typhoon struck Hernani, villagers ran to higher ground in a bid to survive the storm, enduring several fearful hours of high winds and destruction out in the open. These stories prompted All Hands Volunteers to build a two-and-half-story concrete evacuation center to protect the villagers from future storms and to serve as a community center in calmer weather. And in 2016, the Hernani Evacuation Center was open for business.

DETROIT FLOOD RESPONSE/RECOVERY In August 2014, a large storm system moved across parts of Southeastern Michigan producing a record one-day of rainfall, damaging over 129,000 homes across the greater Detroit area. The Detroit flood was declared by FEMA as the worst disaster of 2014, but it received little media attention, so the residents of the city never experienced the swell of support that is so critical to engaging help and financial support in the recovery effort. But All Hands Volunteers was there and stayed the course, working tirelessly to repair flood damaged homes and remove mold from hundreds more that had been neglected for many months by high risk homeowners that could not afford the repairs.
15.
ECUADOR EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE April 18, 2016 to Present On April 16, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and violent aftershocks occurred in Ecuador destroying roads, bridges, and power supplies to the regions surrounding the Esmeraldas province. The damage to the country’s infrastructure was unprecedented, with over 20,000 people left without homes. A state of emergency was declared across six provinces in Ecuador and the death toll reached over 660. The greatest damages and largest number of affected populations were reported in the Manabi province with 22,754 people living in shelters and 16,185 households destroyed or damaged. All Hands Volunteers has teams performing debris management, rubble and demolition activities, and camp improvement in the Esmeraldas and Manabi Provinces. The program also consists of constructing temporary and permanent homes.

SOUTH CAROLINA FLOOD RESPONSE/RECOVERY The October 2015 North American Storm Complex caused historic river and flash flooding across South Carolina and severe damage. In immediate response, All Hands deployed teams to the overlooked areas of St Andrews and Georgetown for 2 months, mucking and gutting and removing debris from people’s properties. And in February 2016, as the need remained severe, we made the decision to come back to lend our host of volunteers to rebuilding homes for families that remained homeless as a result of the storm. We have been engaged in this effort ever since.

LOUISIANA FLOOD RESPONSE BOGALUSA In March 2016, flooding in the south-central US brought record level rain and flash floods, leaving more than 12,000 homes severely damaged or destroyed. All Hands Volunteers immediately engaged in the response effort, focusing on the hardest hit, most ignored areas (as always). The need was so overwhelming that we received daily calls for help from other areas that we could not respond to as we didn’t have sufficient resources. This was hard on our teams who had come to help, but they kept at it, mucking and gutting and sanitizing homes with a fervor only accessible to those with a genuine purpose beyond themselves.
19.
LOUISIANA FLOOD RESPONSE BATON ROUGE In August 2016, the state of Louisiana was hit with a second wave of flooding that was declared one of the worst natural disasters in recent years. Thousands were forced from their homes into shelters, and over 100,000 homes damaged. All Hands Volunteers immediately jumped into action to help victims who were reeling from the storm. And we are there today mucking and gutting homes for families living in those shelters - getting them one step closer to reclaiming their homes and the precious routines of every day life.

As a result, our long time partner, UMCOR-TX, asked All Hands Volunteers to join them, bringing our disaster assessment tools and volunteer coordination expertise to bear on the problem. Due to the thousands of residents suffering from water damage, we threw ourselves into clearing homes covered in debris and mucking, gutting and sanitizing homes that had been flooded.

With rapid responses first launched in the states of Mississippi and Texas, All Hands then turned to St. Louis, Missouri where the response effort focused on gutting and sanitizing homes for high risk residents who couldn’t otherwise afford the treatment.

FIJI CYCLONE RESPONSE On February 20, 2016, Fiji took a direct hit by Tropical Cyclone Winston, the strongest tropical cyclone ever to strike this small island nation, flattening numerous buildings, decimating countless villages and leaving an estimated 250,000 people without access to water and sanitation and almost 50,000 in need of emergency latrines. So All Hands Volunteers jumped into action, restoring and building emergency latrines, toilets, septic systems and showers across affected villages.

MALAWI FLOOD RESPONSE/RECOVERY In January 2015, torrential rain caused mass flooding throughout Southern Malawi leaving 336,000 people displaced from their homes. All Hands immediately responded, assisting the International Organization for Migration in tracking Internally Displaced Persons and providing flood survivors with temporary shelters. Moving into the recovery phase, the focus turned to hand digging and bricking 48 wells for the farmers who lost all access to water and therefore, their livelihoods. The completion of these wells provided the local farmers, who worked alongside us each day, with a sustainable system that uses irrigation to produce up to three crops a year.

DOMINICA FLOOD RESPONSE In August 2015, Tropical Storm Erika ravaged the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica, destroying entire villages and changing the lives of more than 20,000 people. As a result, 56 All Hands Volunteers embraced the challenge of helping this island nation in their hour of need, working 6 days a week for over 2 months and donating more than 2,658 backbreaking hours removing debris from homes and schools so the community could begin again.

As All Hands Volunteers responds to disasters, we become connected to the people that we serve. In short, we make friends. And as we do, we organically uncover new ways that we can help. We encourage our teams to act on these ideas because in the end, we find that these experiences change us all - from the inside out. Here are just a few examples from 2016.
Rain Garden Project Three Rain Garden Projects have been created to build hope literally in the “ashes of disaster” as volunteers and homeowners work side by side to plant a garden on once-flooded properties. These special gardens are specifically designed to absorb more rain water than normal in order to prevent future flooding from rainfall.

Fiscal Year 2016 was our strongest year ever with regard to overall contributions received, and we were able to leverage this support with over 87% of all funds spent on direct programs. Even though we were spread geographically more than ever before, with work in seven countries, we ensured funds were effectively deployed to help those in need as total administrative/fundraising costs were just 12.6% - the top tier of efficiency as measured by third party rating agencies.
