The 2004 tsunami destroyed many communities in Sri Lanka. The southern districts of Galle and Matara were two of those worst hit. Over 120,000 people in these areas were left homeless and without any means of income in the wake of the tsunami. This project will help 2,135 displaced families by providing immediate recovery assistance and rebuilding their income-generating activities.
Activities
Provide the displaced victims with bi-weekly dry rations, distribute home appliances to the families, and uplift domestic income generation through traditional home industries, tourism, and vocational training in fishing and construction.

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The families will be able to rebuild their homes and the vocational training will allow the families to become self-supportive once again. 300 unemployed youth will undergo training in three community development centers.
Project Message
Currently we are engaged in boosting revenue to strengthen social and economic status of families effected by the tsunami.

By Winston De Silva - Project leader, July 19, 2007 05:04 PM
Our thanks to GlobalGiving for its effort in raising funds to help the Sri Lankan Tsunami affected community.
Trough this grant the beneficiaries re commenced their self employment. Fisher families, and Non Fisher families enjoyed the benefit. Those who were helpless after the Tsunami treated the grant as god sent. Saviya is grateful to you for the provision of the grants through friendly donors.
We always remembers you. May god bless the donors.
