The simplest way to help is to send cash to a local organization that's working directly with those affected. Sending goods is not recommended. You can help the needy by contributing to any of the following accounts.

In Phuket, The Rotary Club of Patong Beach, Phuket's only English speaking Rotary club, was immediately on the ground, actively helping with disaster relief. Initial emergency needs were funded from existing funds, topped up with members' and friends' donations. Hundreds of local people, in Phuket and Khao Lak have already been helped to overcome the initial effects. However, much more needs to be done on a longer term basis for families and children affected by the floods.

The club is actively seeking funds to help rebuild homes and schools in those small villages and communities that were devastated. All funds will be applied directly to re-construction efforts, contracted for and supervised by Rotary members with appropriate expertise. All contributions will be acknowledged with appropriate credit given on each project.
