Rebuilding Stronger Communities

Headwaters is a member of InterAction, a national non-governmental organization (NGO) working toward global change. InterAction members foster economic and social development, provide relief to those affected by disaster and war, assist refugees and internally displaced people, advance human rights, support gender equity, protect the environment, address population concerns, and press for equitable, just and effective public policies.

Headwaters is also a member of the National VOAD. VOADs (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) are non-profit, nonpartisan, response, recovery and mitigation organizations that help disaster survivors and their communities. We are members of many individual state VOADs as well. We frequently coordinate with other disaster relief NGOs to serve in areas where many communities and individuals need assistance.
