Via Campesina Tsunami Relief and Reconstruction Fund

Via Campesina Tsunami Relief and Reconstruction Fund

Via Campesina - the global alliance of peasant, family farmer, farm worker, indigenous, landless peoples and women's organizations, and other rural movements - calls for solidarity with the millions of people affected by the tsunami disaster and has launched a global fundraising campaign to channel assistance to affected communities of fisherfolk and peasants, for our own relief and reconstruction efforts, through our grassroots member organizations (http://www.viacampesina.org) and our sister organizations of fisherfolk.

The Via Campesina Tsunami Relief and Reconstruction Fund is collecting funds for direct emergency support to our own communities to provide basic needs of food, clean drinking water, shelter and health care to our fisherfolk and peasant communities affected by the tsunamis, as well as to help initiate the long term work of reconstructing our communities and rebuilding our livelihoods.
