After the Tsunami: Rebuilding Aceh

In 2004 an earthquake in the Indian Ocean created a tsunami, killing more than 225,000 people and devastating entire communities in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand. While organizations such as the American Red Cross provided valuable disaster relief services, Grameen Foundation and other microfinance programs convened to determine strategies for long-term economic recovery.

With funding from the American Red Cross, Grameen Foundation has continued to support Indonesias poor with Mitra Dhuafa for nearly four successful years in the tsunami-devastated region of Aceh, Indonesia. Together, we are rebuilding communities and creating new opportunities for the poor.
