Oxfam in action: Getting on, after the tsunami

February 15, 2005

Oxfam’s Tsunami Emergency Appeal has been the most successful appeal in our history. As a result of the unprecedented public response in New Zealand and internationally, Oxfam’s planned work is now almost fully funded, supporting a long-term programme to rebuild communities in the tsunami-affected region. Oxfam is working on the ground in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives and Somalia, reaching 600,000 people.

The future is in our hands

January 15, 2005

In Krueng Raya, a village 45 minutes west of Banda Aceh, people are taking their future into their own hands. Five days after the Tsunami, they started rebuilding their homes. From the rubble and destruction left behind by the disaster on December 26th, they have been finding tools, wood, plastic and other material to build the places that will house them for the coming months or perhaps years.
