SANASA Sees Brighter Future in Sri Lanka
CNW Group, 30 March 2009
Four years after the tsunami which destroyed a large part of Sri Lanka, SANASA, the largest network of financial
cooperatives in Sri Lanka, has reported positive results from the Support Project for Reconstruction in Sri Lanka carried out by Développement International Desjardins (DID), a component of Desjardins Group.
Three hundred financial cooperatives in the SANASA network, some of which had been completely destroyed by the tidal wave, were able to count on expertise from DID for support to reorganize their activities. Immediately after the tragedy which left 35,000 dead or missing, 15,000 injured and 500,000 homeless, the Desjardins Group mobilized to provide assistance to Sri Lanka.
In addition to working with the SANASA network, which was already highly active in providing emergency services to victims (food,clothing, medicine) and in reconstruction efforts in Sri Lanka, Desjardins setup a fund of nearly one million dollars to provide assistance to relaunch activities and development in that country.
