Fishing Livelihood Project - Post Tsunami Restoration

During 2005, our initial tsunami response projects on the Tamil Nadu coastline (Cuddalore, Karaikal, and Nagapattinam) provided a much needed mobile hospital unit which treated 12,000 children and adults, and contributed to rehabilitation of fishing communities through repair of tsunami-damaged boats. By directly repairing and putting back to sea 100 Karaikal fishing boats, SCD and Jeevika Trust, with funds raised in UK and France, restored livelihoods to some 500 fishermen and their families, touching up to 3,000 lives.
