All Hands and Hearts (AHAH) has intermittently operated in the Philippines since 2007, responding to disasters such as Typhoon Rai (known locally as Odette), Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), and Typhoon Mangkhut (Ompong). Our work is tailored to the unique needs of the disaster-impacted communities we work alongside. Primarily, this takes the form of restoring access to education by rebuilding typhoon-affected schools and constructing Transitional Learning Spaces (TLS). In Araceli, Palawan, this took the form of restoring livelihoods through facilitating fishing boat repairs led by an entirely Filipina team. In May 2024, we will launch a new phase of our typhoon relief program in Southern Leyte, where we will mobilize volunteers and work alongside local community members to help build a school i...

Southern Leyte
by: Brian Thompson - United StatesProgram: Philippines Typhoon ReliefExcellent time assisting with a school build in Southern Leyte. Local masons do the advanced construction work, but you assistance from us foreign volunteers. Everyone is lovely; All Hands and Hearts Staff, the masons, other volunteers, and the local community. Some of the construction work cam be difficult, hard, labor - especially in the Philippines rain and heat. But it is worth it knowing the work you are doing is helping the local community.
My first All Hands And Hearts project and it got me hooked
by: Clayton Hunter - United StatesProgram: Philippines Typhoon ReliefJoining The Philippines Typhoon Relief project in Southern Leyte was a serendipitous event for me; I had not heard of All Hands prior to being contacted via Workaway. I was extremely impressed with how smoothly AHAH ran the program, from arrivals to departures of volunteers, the day-to-day work in building a new school with a mix of volunteers and local masons, and ensuring everyone's basic needs were met on base. Wandering around the local community I was consistently asked where I was from and...
The best experience of my life!
by: Kasia Ozga - PolandProgram: Philippines Typhoon ReliefI volunteered in the Philippines with All Hands and Hearts back in 2015, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Never before that project, have I met so many dedicated and hard-working people. It motivated me to grow and learn more about the humanitarian world. When I was there, the organisation put a lot of effort into supporting the community and ensuring that volunteers had a meaningful and positive experience. We had a real and tangible impact because we worked closely with a l...
