Changing the lives of survivors and volunteers worldwide
About EDV
European Disaster Volunteers (EDV) is a volunteer driven, England and Wales registered charity that works with communities worldwide which have been affected by or are vulnerable to disaster. Our goals are to help survivors achieve sustainable recovery and build more resilient communities both before and after disaster.
Our origins are European but our approach is global — we welcome all volunteers and donors whatever their nationality. Our inclusive model allows you to commit whatever it is you have to give — be it a few days out of the month at home, a few Euros, or your work on deployment — directly to those who need it most.
EDV is now on deployment in the Philippines and we need volunteers! Sign up or learn more here.
EDV was founded in September 2008 by a group of experienced disaster responders led by Andy Chaggar. Andy is a survivor of the 2004 Asian tsunami who holds a Master’s degree in social policy and development with a focus on disasters. Newsletter:
