Family Care Foundation Tsunami Rebuilding in Aceh

With our tsunami rebuilding efforts in Aceh province, Family Care Foundation has felt it best to concentrate our limited resources and efforts all in one location. And rather than choosing to undertake development in the capital, Banda Aceh, which has received the lion’s share of attention from the NGOs, to do so in a rural area outside the main city. Thus we chose the village of Pasi, Lhoong, in the district of Aceh Besar, which spans 28 villages, 24 of which were very hard hit.

So Pasi is the location where Family Care Foundation is creating a Family Care zone, where a medical center will be built, including a Family Care ambulance based there, and also where we’d undertake livelihood programs such as a fish farm and restaurant that will bring livelihood to locals. read more
