Earthaid is a not for profit humanitarian aid
organization. We travel anywhere in North, Central, or South America.
Earthaid selects projects where a small influence can make a big impact.
Emergency situations, storms, floods, earthquakes, etc. are considered for
immediate response. Appropriate equipment will be transported for such a
project. Children, families, communities, and people that could not
control their own fate are our primary focus. Non-emergency projects are
also undertaken at our discretion. These type of projects often entail
re-construction, re-engineering, and assisting local support groups. Religion
and race are not used as factors for deployment. Distances to project,
stability/safety of project country, as well as of countries that will be
transversed, are used as factors for deployment.
Our method of operation is similar to the Peace Corps, however, we do not stay at site for the time frames that the Peace Corps does. We appreciate the freedom to decide on our own when and if to respond to certain emergencies, as well as the freedom to find a project (or be solicited in some cases). We have no government affiliations and no limits or delays. 100% of our budget is spent on projects. If products are needed for the site, they are often purchased at wholesale or below. Then transported by us to the site.
