Changing the lives of survivors and volunteers worldwide
About EDV
European Disaster Volunteers (EDV) is a volunteer driven, registered charity that aids disaster affected communities worldwide by providing initial relief and helping them achieve sustainable recovery.
Our origins are European but our approach is global — we welcome all volunteers and donors whatever their nationality. EDV 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.
With this attitude in mind, we'll never charge you to volunteer because we believe the work you're capable of doing is just as valuable as your money.
EDV is not currently on deployment. If you want to be kept up to date about our future deployments and how you can get involved, please sign up for our newsletter.

Volunteering overseas in disaster zones has traditionally meant committing at least a year, paying a host organisation, or possessing a particularly desirable skill set. In our experience, many people would love to give their time and energy volunteering in a disaster zone, but a year off or spare EU 1,000 never becomes available. Many people want to contribute but feel that they can’t.
