2009 Indonesia Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund

Hello. GlobalGiving will be partnering with Water Missions International, CHF International and the local organization PUSPEM in Indonesia to provide relief following the recent earthquakes.

PUSPEM (the Centre for Community Development Studies) is working to make sure more than 500 children continue their education during the recovery period. They are also working to provide food, water, clothes and other basic necessities to more than 10,000 refugees.

CHF International has experience providing emergency relief in Indonesia, and so is well positioned to provide effective assistance. They are focusing on providing shelter to those left homeless following the quake.

With drinking wells covered from the floods, the water supply has become extremely polluted. With a native staff of five already on the ground in Indonesia, Water Missions International will begin to assess the total need. Currently, WMI has 32 systems in country that will be used to aid in the relief of the people of Padang and surrounding areas.

Your generous donation to our relief fund will be going to these organizations. We will pass on project updates as they are available.
