Tsunami Relief for Indonesia

Priority Project – 4-47406-46-82

Sumatra, Indonesia

Let’s be prepared for the worst — Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of Indonesia

In Padang, over 1100 homes have been destroyed and hundreds of business damaged or destroyed in the tsunami that hit Sumatra on September 30, 2009. The death toll is over 500 and climbing. Rains continue to hamper rescue and relief efforts. Roads and bridges from the south were damaged making land access to the city of 900,000 primarily from the northern routes. Communication is poor as phone lines and wireless towers are down.

The neighboring communities of Pariaman and Sicincin were hit hard and this is where our efforts will be focused. More than 30,000 homes have heavy damage and most cannot be repaired. CAMA is assisting to purchase and put together tool packets which include a hammer, shovel, saw, file, hoe, etc. so that people can salvage usable materials from their houses. National workers will help with cleaning of destruction debris and tool packet distribution.

Join us in linking the Word and deed by allowing CAMA to be your hands to a hurting world. Together, we can help change the lives of the survivors and introduce them to Jesus, the source of life.
