Mission
All Hands and Hearts effectively and efficiently addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters. We communicate directly with local leaders and community members and then deploy our unique model of engaging volunteers to enable direct impact, helping to build safer, more resilient schools, homes and infrastructure.
Vision
Through community and volunteer engagement, we aim to help families recover faster after natural disasters using our "smart response" strategy and by rebuilding in a disaster resilient way we prepare them for future disasters and, through the process, strengthen communities
Our Story
The lives of Co-founders Petra Nemcova and David Campbell were changed forever by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. David Campbell heard about the devastating tsunami and jumped on a plane to offer his extensive expertise gained as a former CEO of BBN Technologies, ultimately starting what is now All Hands Volunteers in 2005. Petra Nemcova herself was swept away by the tsunami and survived by clinging to a tree for eight hours. This experience led to the establishment of the Happy Hearts Fund in 2005.
In the Fall of 2017, these two organizations announced the merger to form All Hands and Hearts - Smart Response. Together, we will focus on delivering a Smart Response to those reeling from disaster both domestically and internationally.
