Donate for Tsunami Victims
A 9.0 earthquake on 26th December 2004 has unleashed devastating tsunamis on coastal areas throughout Asia, killing more than 155,000 (expecting to be double in few more days as still people are finding bodies which were carried away or been burried beneath by the huge waves) people and leaving five million children and families in desperate need. Mauritius Red Cross Society is responding; now we urgently need your support.
As you have been seeing and hearing on the news, the earthquake and tsunami that rocked southern Asia has created an urgent need that is widespread and devastating. A large number of the casualties appear to be children.
Without a doubt, there are several worthy causes that need financial support from private donors.
