Tsunami Survivors Smile and Look to the Future

With surviving children to support and their livelihoods swept away in seconds, forty-seven widowers who wished to re-establish their businesses and restore a stable income received grants from Operation USA. Zeini is re-building his motorcycle repair store and Husin is re-stocking his grocery shop.

Holiday Gift Giving Made Fun...And Meaningful!

Make the holiday giving ritual meaningful and personal this year. We realize that the holiday season is still some time away, but we want to help you avoid the mad dash to the mall or dealing with clogged internet sites or paying for last minute overnight shipping…

Give your family members, colleagues and friends a gift that helps communities rebuild, fosters leadership and alleviates the effects of hunger and disease throughout the world. Your holiday gift can feed a child, pay school fees for an orphan, give a loan to a woman to help her start a small business, pay for playground equipment, help a community clinic purchase a generator in case of emergency… and more.
