Our Volunteers Can Help

Team Aid volunteer coordinators are dedicated to supporting individuals and families in need, particularly when they lack local assistance or communication with their loved ones. Our main goal is to bridge the gap between your current location and your home. Our committed volunteers are always prepared to help in various emergency situations, working together as a team to provide the necessary resources for crisis mitigation.

Although our coordinators may not be able to meet family members or affected individuals in person in most cases, they remain fully capable of offering emotional and practical support through our network of partners. If you’re interested in volunteering or becoming a local coordinator, we invite you to join our network. Sign up today for more information.

There is no membership fee to volunteer.

Help When You Need It

In today’s global economy, more people are relocating far from home in search of opportunities, safety, and a better life. With the increase in migration and travel, the need for assistance during crises has also risen. Unfortunately, this includes situations involving death, where we can help arrange repatriation of deceased individuals overseas to be reunited with their families.

During times of tragedy, individuals often find themselves alone, without the support of their families in a foreign country. This lack of emotional and practical assistance only adds to their already difficult circumstances, leading to additional mental trauma and stress.

TEAM Aid’s extensive network of local coordinators is always available to offer emotional support and lend a helping hand. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on our dedicated volunteers and funding from the public and business donors. Please consider making a donation today.

Living abroad can be tough, especially when you're in a crisis and don't know where to turn. That's why TEAM Aid exists - we're a global network of volunteers who will do our best to help you navigate difficult situations and overcome challenges in a foreign land.

Mohan Nannapaneni, Founder

We do not pity the wounded; we become the wounded. By immersing ourselves in their experiences, we gain empathy and understanding. This deep connection drives us to provide compassionate care and support, walking alongside those who are hurting. We believe in the power of shared humanity and strive to make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Mohan. He lifted a weight off my shoulders with his advice and guidance when my family and I planned to take my father’s ashes to India for his final resting place. His consistent kindness and patience in guiding me through the process, as well as following up to completion, was much appreciated during a hectic and stressful time. He made a somewhat complicated process simple and helped navigate each step of the way. For that I am extremely thankful and happy he was referred to me. Would 100% recommend his services to anyone in need. — Radha Ramsaran
