DISASTER: Tsunami, 2004, Sri Lanka

Continue fundraising $50,000 to help rebuild more houses and support more orphans

.

On December 26, 2004, a massive tsunami devastated the coastal regions in the Indian Ocean.  In Sri Lanka over 50,000 people were killed, tens of thousands of homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people displaced, and tens of thousands of children orphaned.  Even thought the world responded with unprecedented humanitarian aid at the time, there are still many victims who need help.

Jon Ross recently returned from Sri Lanka after building a house for a tsunami family in Hambantota, and completing and securing (installing windows and doors) for two other families in Batticaloa.  MicroAid also funded the scholarships for two tsunami orphans.

MicroAid is raising $50,000 to continue to help the victims of the tsunami in Sri Lanka.

100% of donations go to helping those in need.  Overhead is funded separately by the MicroAid board of directors.  Thank you.
