All Hands and Hearts

Celebrating World Water Day by taking action for a brighter, water-secure future! ???? Mexico is facing a growing water crisis due to climate change, overuse of aquifers, pollution and imperfect resource management. This crisis directly impacts education, making access to clean water and sanitation more critical than ever. We've partnered with over 20 schools to provide safe and sanitary toilet blocks, drinking water stations and large water storage tanks. From installing 87+ toilet stalls to 18+ drinking stations with 40+ taps, we've ensured students and teachers have access to clean water and proper sanitation. We also empower school communities with training on water use, hygiene practices and WASH system maintenance. Together, we're creating healthier, happier schools! ?? #WASH #CleanWater #Sanitation #Mexico #WaterForAll #EducationForAll #CommunityImpact #WorldWaterDay

Our DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team) in Missouri has successfully completed work on its fourth property in St. Louis County, clearing trees and debris left by the recent tornadoes. Missouri, one of the hardest-hit states, experienced 12 confirmed tornadoes that affected local communities. Homes were destroyed, trees were uprooted, and infrastructure was severely damaged—immediate relief efforts are critical to helping these communities begin their recovery. Since day one, we’ve been working side by side with local and state organizations to ensure every task is handled with care. Our DART members are utilizing their specialized skills in both damage assessments and chainsaw operations to integrate into the community and address the most urgent needs. #DART #CommunitySupport #TornadoRelief #Missouri

On the ground in Missouri, we have been providing immediate relief to residents of St. Louis County who were impacted by the tornadoes that tore through the area this past weekend. We spoke with Colleen Vaughn, a local community member who waited out the storm in her basement as her home was struck. The need for direct disaster response goes beyond physical recovery—it is also essential in providing community members with the reassurance that they are not alone in the aftermath. That’s why All Hands and Hearts is committed to arriving early and staying long after disaster strikes. Disasters are unpredictable, and responding effectively to their impact worldwide requires the resources to deploy our teams swiftly and support communities throughout their recovery.

This is Jimmy Hammond, a homeowner in Floyd County and one of the many residents we are assisting through our response efforts in Kentucky. Jimmy and his wife were stranded in their home without heat or hot water for six nights before they were finally able to evacuate. Their story is one of resilience in the face of disaster and serves as an inspiration for the work we do. When disaster strikes, we are committed to immediate response, deploying our direct action teams to assist community members like Jimmy. From the floods in Eastern Kentucky to the tornadoes in Missouri, All Hands and Hearts is dedicated to creating a path to recovery for those affected by natural disasters across the country and around the world. #DisasterRelief #CommunitySupport #EmergencyResponse #RebuildTogether #AllHandsAndHearts

Our incredible volunteers and staff have successfully completed the Sto. Ni?o National High School in the Philippines! We celebrated this milestone with a special handover ceremony alongside the local community, honoring the collective achievements and impact of this project. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to this project, including the amazing supporters and close friends of Petra N?mcová. Your generosity through the funds raised in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami made it possible to build the first school in remembrance of the 230,000 lives lost and in honor of Simon Atlee. ?? Sto. Ni?o National High School is equipped with fully completed classrooms and a BioSand Water Filtration System, ensuring clean water access for students and staff. The school was built using Cement Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT)—an innovative, disaster-resilient construction system designed for sustainability and durability. CBFT not only strengthens the school’s infrastructure but also supports local farmers and benefits the environment. Additionally, the school has received a table tennis area and a basketball court, providing students with a comprehensive educational experience. As part of our commitment to long-term community resilience, we conducted training sessions on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), WASH, and Child Protection, equipping students and staff with essential knowledge and skills. Additionally, students completed first aid training with the Philippine Red Cross, further enhancing local emergency preparedness. We are deeply grateful to have collaborated with local masons throughout the construction process, as well as with our local partners, Base Bahay Foundation, Inc. and Streetlight Int., to support Filipino families and ensure that students have safe, healthy learning environments.
