Tsunami
response
KSRSD was quick enough to respond to the national
disaster by providing counseling services to those
affected and helping to restore their normal lives.
Provision of household articles and educational
materials provided by KSRSD were a great solace
for them and the fishing nets and other accessories
supplied by KSRSD helped to restore their lives
to normal economic activities.
The Tsunami tragedy has opened an eye to the dismal
living conditions of the fishing community. |
