Project Needs and Beneficiaries

On December 26, 2004 Southeast Asia experienced an undersea earthquake and resulting tsunamis that devastated shores with waves of up to 50 feet (15 m) high. The tsunamis were among the deadliest disasters in modern history; at least 150,000 people are known to have died as a result and the count is still taking place. Thousands of people in Sri Lanka were left homeless, jobless or orphaned.
