A year after the Tsunami, 500,000 survivors are still homeless in Aceh (the area most devastated by this disaster). They are now homeless for a second monsoon season in a row. YBK is a phenomenally effective, transparent Indonesian NGO helping tsunami survivors rebuild their lives. Please help!

Below is a pricing guide to show you how far a dollar goes in Aceh. If you have the means, please consider donating enough for a boat or even a house. All donations, no matter how big or small will go to urgent, efficient use and will be gratefully appreciated. It all adds up! Thank you for your help!

$1,800 - a two-person fishing boat, fully equipped, can feed 25 people in perpetuity
