The Tsunami Disaster: make
a donation on line for SE Asia !

AVSI has immediately set in action to meet the needs of the populations swept through by the surging waters of the Indian Ocean tsunami, last December 26. Thus a number of relief activities are being planned in collaboration with local Apostolic Nuncios: first of all in Thailand, in the Dioceses of Surat Thani, (where the town of Pukhet is located), one of the areas most seriously affected by the tsunami, in collaboration with H.E. Monsignor Salvatore Pennacchio (Apostolic Nuncio in Thailand) and in Sri Lanka, in collaboration with H.E. Monsignor Mario Zenari, Apostolic Nuncio in this country:

The procedure we are going to follow originates from the awareness that emergency relief activities should constitute the starting point towards development. This is how we use to behave in cases of humanitarian emergency. In this specific case we shall operate as follows:

1. to collect and examine the requirements of our local partners in Thailand and Sri Lanka, and define the relevant priorities;
2. to send experts to these countries on assessment missions;
3. based on actual needs and funds available, to draw and implement a project in collaboration with local partners;
4. to prepare a medium-term project in order to promote resumption of normal activities (schooling, work) and to help the minors affected by the disaster, also by means of the distance support program.

We shall keep our numerous and generous donors informed and updated on the use of funds

Everybody understands that, at this stage, a hasty intervention would only meet our need, not the needs of the people affected by the disaster. This is the reason why AVSI confirms its commitment to support the populations swept through by the Indian Ocean tsunami by means of a medium-long term project able to last in time, rather than through emergency actions.

AVSI (www.avsi.org) is a not for profit, non governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1972 to implement development cooperation projects. AVSI is presently active in 35 developing and transition countries in the areas of health and sanitation, care of children in difficult conditions, education, vocational training, upgrading of informal urban areas, environment, agriculture, promotion of small businesses , food security and emergency relief.

During the last ten years AVSI implemented in these countries distance support projects, by which it it is presently able to help over 24.000 children and adolescents. Thank to a limited contribution (85 cents of Eur per day for at least one year), donors may provide children with sufficient food, healthcare and sanitation, as well as schooling, so that they may become the real protagonists of their future.
