| Survivors of the 2004 South Asian tsunami have regained hope through microfinance. |
Your gift helps us strengthen local programs, such as those in Indonesia. The December 2004 South Asian tsunami killed nearly 200,000 people in Aceh, Indonesia and left thousands more without homes and jobs. To help survivors there rebuild their lives, Grameen Foundation has provided support and funding to two local microfinance institutions. The MFIs have grown and are currently helping 6,700 families regain hope for their futures. GF has also worked with the local government and other non-profit organizations to make sure our partners are receiving the support they need.
