Donate to tsunami relief

The catastrophic earthquake and resulting tsunamis have killed thousands and left millions of families in Southeast Asia grieving, homeless, and vulnerable.

Mercy Corps emergency workers are deployed across three devastated countries - India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka - and helping lead relief efforts in what's being called "the largest humanitarian operation in history."
Your immediate donation will help them continue and expand our operations during this unprecedented crisis.

The most powerful earthquake in more than 40 years wrought widespread destruction across Southeast Asia last Sunday, triggering huge tsunamis that have killed more than 156,000 people. Millions of people throughout the region have been been displaced and left homeless as a result of the sudden catastrophe.

Mercy Corps needs your help as it mounts a lifesaving response to this tragic disaster. At this moment, over twenty Mercy Corps emergency team members are either already on the ground or on their way to affected areas. More are departing for India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka in the coming days.
