All Hands and Hearts enables volunteers to provide hands-on assistance to survivors of natural disasters, both within the U.S. and internationally. And they’re really good at it. Having operated in the U.S. and abroad for more than 15 years, the organization has earned the highest possible 4-Star-Rating by Charity Navigator for 8 years in a row and a Top 5-Star-Rating from Greatnonprofits.org and GoOverseas.com.
But vital work doesn’t come without a cost. According to All Hands and Hearts’ Director of Wellbeing, Dora Rebelo, “The work we do is both rewarding and challenging. Working directly in the field can encompass overwhelming workloads and a lack of privacy and personal space — in addition to the separation from our most familiar bonds (family, friends, and other supportive networks we usually rely on). Beyond the daily stresses, long working hours, and resource-limited living conditions, the experience itself may be one of witnessing human and environmental adversities that can impact our wellbeing.”
