Here are the various ways you can make a contribution to Mercy Relief's cause in helping the less fortunate amongst Man. Your contribution is precious.

Background/Crisis

More than 24,000 people were killed when the world's strongest earthquake in 40 years unleashed flash floods and giant tidal waves across a huge swathe of South and South-East Asia. Measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, the massive underwater earthquake struck off the western coast of northern Sumatera on 26th Dec 2004, triggering the killer waves that swept away entire coastal villages and seaside resorts in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Maldives, Bangladesh and Malaysia.

Physical damage and emotional loss were immense, as many lost their
homes and family members in a matter of minutes. Waterborne-diseases such as cholera and dysentery are also threatening to increase the death toll, as the lack of clean drinking water, rotting corpses and the breaking down of health systems in the affected areas threaten an epidemic.

With countless rendered homeless and hungry, there is an urgent need for humanitarian aid to be extended to these stricken victims.

And the new found death rates are increasing every minutes..

In response to this humanitarian crisis, Mercy Relief and its institutional partners – Singapore Soka Association (SSA) & Young Sikh Association (YSA) –together with the Singapore Red Cross Society (SRCS) are conducting a nationwide fundraising campaign for the victims of the calamity.

This fundraising effort would allow Singaporeans from all walks of life to extend aid and compassion to our fellow neighbours in a substantial and concerted manner. The funds raised will be channelled towards supporting humanitarian relief and rehabilitation operations for more than 12,000 families in the affected countries, and assist in bringing their derailed lives back on track.
