Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit founded by Paul Walker. In January of 2010, after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, Paul spontaneously organized a relief team that responded to the disaster. On the trip, Paul saw a gap between the availability of skilled resources and the requirement for such personnel in post-disaster situations. Upon returning from Haiti, ROWW was established with the purpose of filling this unmet need.
ROWW has grown to be an agile group of first-responders and other professionals in the medical and construction-related fields. We keep our deployment teams small in order to deploy quickly and efficiently. Once on the ground, our mission is to reach as many people as possible in the most effective way we can. We are often the first type of assistance a village/town has seen post-disaster.
On a typical international deployment, a team of 7 will see 500 patients in 6 days. In addition to medical relief, we also regularly supply MRE’s and water filtration devices.
Domestically, ROWW deploys teams to assist with post-disaster clean up. We clear access ways, remove dangerous trees, muck and gut homes, and otherwise assist in clean-up efforts.
ROWW operates on the philosophy that by making a difference in just one person’s life, the world has been changed for the better. By doing so, we strive to elevate Paul’s simple idea of helping others to create a lasting legacy he would be proud of and will be forever felt worldwide.
