Christian Childrens Fund Completes Phase Two of Tsunami Reconstruction Program
At the second year anniversary of the Asia Tsunami, Christian Childrens Fund (CCF) has completed the second phase of a three-year program of recovery and reconstructionÂ
not just of bricks and mortar, but of the human spirit. CCF has collected $19,080,054.68 for tsunami relief, recovery and reconstruction efforts in India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. This includes $11,221,699 million in public contributions and $7,858,355.68 million in grant awards.
During the first two years CCF has spent for tsunami relief and recovery in India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, a total of $12,636,751.62. This expenditure includes: $6,412,365.48 in public contributions and $6,224,386.14 expenditures in grant funding.
CCF responded within hours after the tsunami ravaged the coastal areas of South Asia in December of 2004, when more than 200,000 lives were lost and 1.5 million children and families were displaced. CCF emergency response teams, working with local CCF staff and volunteers, immediately distributed food, bedding, clothing, medicine and other basic relief supplies to displaced families. CCF moved quickly to establish a three-year plan of reconstruction and development initiatives that would provide a long-term impact to tsunami-affected families through livelihood restoration and child protection programs. Recovery efforts continued in year-one and moved into reconstruction efforts which continued throughout year-two.
