How to help tsunami victims: Donating money or time
CBC News Online | Updated January 19, 2005
The following non-profit organizations are among those collecting
donations to help survivors of the Dec. 26 tsunami.
The CBC provides these links for your information only and
not as an endorsement of any particular charity. If you want
to donate to a charity, contact the organization directly for
information on how funds are distributed.
The federal government has said that it will match donations
made by individual Canadians to Canadian non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) already involved in responding to the disaster. This
section is a list of the NGOs that have so far been approved.
If you want to make a donation, we suggest you check their websites
and decide for yourself if the relief work they are doing matches
how you want your money used.
