District 3230 (India) has been devoted to disaster relief and recovery since a tsunami struck the Indian coast in 2004. In the wake of the disaster, the livelihoods of local fishermen were destroyed. In response, the District 3230 Tsunami Relief Committee sent seven fishermen from Tamil Nadu and a team leader to Vietnam for training in new methods of fishing, sea farming, and fish processing. The committee covered the cost of the 20-day training session. Vietnam was chosen because of its use of advanced technology, which is heavily supported by the government’s anti-poverty programs. Learn more about this project and the district’s other relief efforts on the District 3230 website.
