Active Programs

Afghanistan Earthquake Relief

In September 2025, a powerful earthquake struck the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, collapsing traditional homes and displacing thousands of families. All Hands & Hearts responded quickly to deliver emergency shelter, blankets, solar lights and kitchen supplies, working with local leaders to reach families scattered across steep, isolated villages. As winter set in, we followed with stoves, fuel and food to help communities stay warm and begin their recovery. In November 2025, a second major earthquake hit northern Afghanistan, deepening the crisis for the already disaster-affected country. Our team mobilized immediately, distributing large tents and warm blankets in Khulm and surrounding villages, helping families endure freezing temperatures while continuing their long path to rebuild after the September earthquake.

By partnering with local leaders and organizations, we ensure aid reaches those who need it most, supporting communities as they recover and rebuild in the face of ongoing challenges.

Turning Crisis Into Hope

A disaster can take just minutes to upend the life you knew; homes lost, schools destroyed, entire communities left in crisis. Recovery, however, takes time, care and the strength of many hands and hearts. Our teams respond rapidly and remain until local communities are back on a stronger path forward, adapting to evolving needs every step of the way.

Emergency Response

When disaster strikes, we’re on the ground fast, meeting immediate needs and ensuring safety and stability in the critical first days and weeks.

One person wears a yellow hard hat and a purple "All Hands and Hearts" shirt, while the other assists with a broom and stands nearby. Sunlight filters through the trees as they work amidst hurricane damage.

Recovery & Resilience

True recovery takes time. We stay long after the headlines fade, working alongside families to rebuild homes, restore livelihoods, and strengthen resilience — ensuring communities are not only able to recover, but better prepared for the future.

Other children are engaged in similar activities in the background, surrounded by red and green chairs and educational toys. Sunlight streams in through the windows, illuminating the warm, wooden interior.

Education

Schools are catalysts for recovery. We restore stability by bringing children back into safe places to learn and play — giving them hope for the future, while families gain the freedom to rebuild homes, livelihoods, and stronger communities.
