One example of our role in rebuilding lives and communities is in Sri Lanka, where we have been working since the Great Indian Ocean Tsunami struck this island-nation off the coast of India in December 2004. Our UP Teams train healthcare workers, connect professionals within the medical community, improve health and hygiene education, and address sanitation issues within the community. Though most of our “rebuilding” efforts focus on local capacity, we have also constructed several buildings to restore mental and occupational health in vulnerable communities.
