Summary

India's south-east coast, especially the state of Tamil Nadu, was the worst affected area on the mainland.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Tsunami survivors are coming to terms with the aftermath of the disaster, and the focus is shifting to rehabilitation. The government is working out support packages and procedures for administering them. NGOs are carrying out needs assessment surveys. As needs and resource gaps become clearer in the weeks to come, GiveInida will assess rehabilitation projects such as rebuilding schools, constructing homes, livelihood support, setting up homes for the destitute, comprehensive care for orphans.

How will this project solve this problem?

This fund will support disaster rehabilitation activities including rebuilding schools, constructing homes, livelihood support, setting up homes for the destitute, and comprehensive care for orphans.
