How You Can Help
A partial list of agencies accepting donations to aid tsunami victims in south AsiaNewsweek
Updated: 1:33 p.m. ET Dec. 28, 2004Most aid agencies agree that cash donations are the best way to show compassion in the wake of an international tragedy. Although many people share the impulse to send canned food, clothing and other material goods, giving money is often the most efficient and expedient means to help. For more information, consult the nonprofit umbrella group InterAction’s guide to giving and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s list of pointers on donating.
The following is a partial list of organizations accepting donations to aid those most affected by the devastating tsunami that struck southern Asia on Sunday, killing at least 33,000 and displacing more than a million people in six countries.
