Tsunami Relief Operations
2004-2007

The world stood still as news spread of the absolute terror and enormity of the December 2004 Asian Tsunami. The destruction wrecked its havoc throughout coastal Asia, with Thailand, South India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka amongst the worst struck. RYTHM Foundation was active in many ways in many countries, doing whatever it could to provide support, financial assistance, and relief operations to those worst affected.

Thailand
RYTHM Foundation donated THB10 million to the Thai Prime Minister for Tsunami Relief Operations. Donations of money and relief material were made to RYTHM Foundation in the name of Tsunami relief, and these contributions were securely passed on to the people of Thailand. Another RYTHM Foundation initiative in Thailand following the tsunami has rebuilt more than 40 homes since November 2006 in villages on the islands of Koh Yao Yai in the Phuket province.

India
Through the Rupee-For-Rupee Programme, RYTHM Foundation raised funds and purchased clothes, medicines and essentials for those in India who were left behind by the Tsunami. The programme called for employees and Independent Representatives of QuestNet India (a QI Ltd subsidiary) to contribute funds. Every rupee donated was matched in value by QuestNet India.

Indonesia
Under the umbrella of RYTHM Foundation, QuestNet Indonesia (a QI Ltd subsidiary) raised funds through donations from leaders and Independent Representatives around Indonesia, to assist those affected nearest the epicentre of the earthquake. The money and equipment were entrusted to a developmental organisation for rehabilitation work.

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka was a country that suffered gravely in the wake of the Tsunami, and is still suffering. Immediately following the disaster, RYTHM Foundation made a cash donation of USD50,000 to help start relief operations. A sizeable donation was then made for medium-term rebuilding efforts, and a USD1 million long-term commitment was made to support a rehabilitation programme.
