Tsunami: Disaster to Development

Home > What we do > International > What we do > Emergency relief

The tsunami that swept across Asia in December 2004 was one of the worst natural disasters of modern times. Thanks to your generosity, Help the Aged and our partners were able to help more than 200,000 older people and we remain committed to long-term development work.

On these pages, older people tell in words and pictures how they have rebuilt their lives in the wake of the disaster.
