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, Age UK and our partners have helped more than 200,000 older people in the immediate aftermath of the emergency and over the next five years.

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