Tsunami Recovery in Four Fishing Villages, India

Maha, a success story

Tsunami survivor Maha, now 15 years old, is shown here (in red) with her family. She is doing well at school. Her father is a very poor rickshaw driver and her mother is cleaning houses. Maha wants to become a physician to better combat the consequences of natural disasters on the health of people. Thanks to Global Giving and God-parents her dream can become a reality.

Roy Family temporary shelter in Kerala

Four years after the tsunami, the Roy family still lives in a temporary shelter. Construction of a new decent home has started in 2008. To complete it, $4,000 is urgently needed.
