Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
By providing 100 boats and nets, this project will help up to 5,000 families in India! Fishing is a source of food and income for coastal villages in India, and these supplies will allow fishermen to begin rebuilding their lives.
Project Message
This may be the worst natural disaster in recent history because it is affecting so many heavily populated coastal areas.
