​On 26 December 2004 a tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean. It was the result of the Indio-Australian Plate subducting below the Eurasian Plate. It was caused by an earthquake measuring more than magnitude 9. The earthquake caused the seafloor to uplift, displacing the seawater above.

When an earthquake hit Nepal in April 2015, we immediately offered our experience as a disaster relief charity to Dr Rijal. He is a loyal supporter of the Foundation and a Nepalese dentist here in our local community.

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake shook Bohol province in central Philippines, tearing up roads, collapsing hundreds of structures - including more than a dozen historic churches  and claimed  many lives.

Lisa May loved children and she would always do her best to help anyone she could with her  time or money when she could. Jackie, one of Lisa’s best friends, had been working with the street kids in Brazil. Jackie approached us to help her rehouse an amazing family she had met during at time when they needed it most. The family were about to be made homeless and lived in fear every day.

Myanmar (Burma) was hit by cyclone Nargis on May 3rd 2008. It was the worst natural disaster in East Asia since the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004. The cyclone was a category 3 storm with winds over 200km/h. Over 140,000 people were killed most of which were taken in by the huge 12ft (3.5m) tidal waves.
