Solidarität mit Südasien - Fonds

Am 26. Dezember 2004 wurde Südasien von einem verheerenden Tsunami heimgesucht, der in zahlreichen Ländern vernichtend wütete. Rotarier in aller Welt setzten sich daraufhin mit Spenden von nahezu 6 Millionen USD an den eigens dafür eingerichteten „Solidarity in South Asia“-Hilfsfonds für die Opfer der Katastrophe ein.

Katastrophenausschüsse wurden in den vier von der Katastrophe am schlimmsten betroffenen Ländern eingerichtet: Indien , Indonesia , Sri Lanka , and Thailand .

Seither haben diese Ausschüsse sich umsichtig für die Verteilung der Mittel und die Wiederaufbaumaßnahmen in den betreffenden Gebieten eingesetzt.
