“I know life can still be very difficult, but if we have enough food to eat every day and a better place to live in, I think we can still survive.” – Mr Askawin, Indonesia
On Friday 28 September, a deadly earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, which then triggered a tsunami. Waves, more than three metres high, swept across the land destroying almost everything in their wake.
The tsunami tore up roads, washed away homes and cut off lines of communication. All We Can has been working in the region through its trusted humanitarian partners to deliver life-saving food, shelter and sanitation items.
So far over £200,000 has been given to the Indonesia Emergency Appeal. All We Can’s Humanitarian Aid Coordinator Laura Cook said, “The response from supporters has been tremendous. We were able to respond quickly through our trusted humanitarian aid partners in Indonesia and life-saving emergency hygiene, food and shelter kits have already been distributed to many families in need. In the coming months we will be working closely with our partners to continue to support the recovery of affected communities in Sulawesi. Thank you so much to everyone who has given to this appeal.”
