Many young people from various places in the world have been putting a lot of their time & energy into the tsunami relief efforts being undertaken by existing organizations. Many of the relief efforts have proved fruitful, although there have been times when we have not been provided with efficient or informative feed back, and also times when we have received news of the misdirection of funds and aid. Frustrated by the lack of clarity about where funding is going to, or ‘not’ going to, we have, after much thought and consideration, decided to embark on our own project- The Tsunami Relief Foundation.

Our objectivesGive Tsunami victims in Sri Lanka both short term and long term relief:

Short term

• dry rations,
• food,
• drinking water,
• clothing,
• sanitary facilities,
• medicine and access to doctors

Long term

• therapy and trauma counseling,
• building materials,
• assistance in restarting livelihoods,
• assistance in rebuilding,
• assistance in regaining self sufficiency.

Bring young people together in order to achieve a common goal of helping victims of the tsunami.Have an easily accessible information database on the web that includes the Foundation’s accounts, reports of the Foundation’s projects as well as any information that will come in useful when helping the tsunami victims in the most efficient way possible.

We will strive towards making this website a place where people can meet and share their experiences as well as information.Promote and hone leadership skills in all the youngsters involved, providing them with the experience of working to support those in need.We would like to give you the chance to participate, because we know how many of you have wanted to contribute. We know how many of you have wanted to help and haven’t been able to. Here’s your chance and we place no restrictions on you.
