Our Goals
Sri Lanka is one of the most severely affected countries by the
tsunami waves that hit South Asia on December 26th, 2004.
Approximately 30,000 have been killed in Sri Lanka, the majority
being women and children, with well over a million displaced
and homeless. Tragically, the tsunami waves have affected
the poorest of the poor in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Tsunami Recovery was founded to raise
funds for reconstruction and rehabilitation. Even though there
has been an unprecedented amount of aid already pledged, the
sheer magnitude of the disaster means that this recovery is
just beginning. As a developing nation, Sri Lanka does not have
the infrastructure to cope adequately with this calamity, and
therefore, faces a long period of reconstruction. Please take
a moment to understand our mission
and how we plan to utilize your donations through our projects.
Why Us?
With all the large international and local organizations now
heavily involved in the relief effort, why should you contribute
to us? Our focus is on long-term recovery, and through our
local contacts, we are able to get your donations directly
to the affected individuals at the grass roots level with
no administrative overhead. We also believe that we can bypass
the typical bureaucracy and potential corruption by working
at this level. Therefore, we ensure you that every
dollar you contribute goes a long way without any losses en
route.
We need your generosity to make our efforts successful.
We have several ways that you can donate.
If not us, we urge you to contribute to any other organization
that is providing relief to this region. We have compiled a list
of other organizations here.
