Help - The real world

The EDL Foundation is a non profit, non governmental organization dedicated to helping provide basic necessities and infrastructure for children living in orphanages in developing countries. The foundation’s mission is to acquire funds to directly provide comprehensive support and educational possibilities to vulnerable and under-privileged orphans.

The first project of the EDL Foundation is supporting the Miftahurrohmah Orphanage in Java, Indonesia, an area severely damaged by a strong earthquake on May 27, 2006.

How it started
The founder of the EDL Foundation arrived in Java the day of the earthquake. She was shocked beyond words to see the devastation of this beautiful island and the despair of the victims who were left with nothing but their suffering. Her decision to create this foundation came after seeing the conditions in which the children at the Miftahurrohmah orphanage live in. Their need for a safer structure, a proper plumbing system, and basic necessities such as food and a mattress to sleep on, made her realize that she had to do something to make life more liveable for these orphans.

After returning several times to Java to follow up on the structural repairs being done and personally bring items and funds to continue the ongoing project, the founder wanted for the rest of the world to know the devastation and desperate need for help that is necessary for these orphans and victims of a natural disaster.

Some of the children at the Miftahurrohmah orphanage write about themselves: * My name is Sumarlan. I was born in 1989. My hobbies are reading and sports. My dream is to be a ship's captain. I live at the orphanage with my friends which are all 38 kids. The important thing for me now is to study hard so that I can reach my dream. * My name is Samsulhadi. I was born in 1989. I want to be in the army, but I don't have money to continue my study. I really hope that someday I will be able to continue my study to higher education. * My name is Sofi Sholeh. I was born in 1988. I have a dream to become a successful entrepeneur. I want to continue my study, as this orphanage helps children like us. * My name is Kholis. I am 12 years old. My hobbies are singing, studying, and doing sports. I hope I can get a job after I graduate from school. * My name is Neli Faradila. I was born in 1991. I wish I could study as high as I can, but it's impossible because of our economic condition, don't even to pay my study to make our life proper. I like reading. God...I hope in my future I meet with someone or an angel who can help me, to make my dreams come true. * I am Dwi Anita. I was born in 1990. I really want to get a better life.My hobbies are cooking and reading. Become a teacher is my dream.

At least 55,000 people threatened by floods in Mozambique have been evacuated – all, remarkably, in small boats.
The British Red Cross has opened an appeal to support the Mozambique Red Cross and National Societies across the southern Africa region, which is threatened by a flood catastrophe.
The Southern Africa Appeal will provide non-food relief items such as blankets, tarpaulins and kitchen sets for 100,000 people.

Mozambique is the worst affected country with 57,000 people affected, and 1,000 households and 37,000 hectares of land destroyed. The government has declared a red alert.
It is vital the international community continues to provide support as needs will increase with thousands displaced from their homes.
Lois Austin, British Red Cross

“We now have about 500 volunteers involved round-the-clock in rescue operations,” said Fernanda Teixeira, the secretary general of the Mozambique Red Cross. “They are also helping to welcome displaced people in shelters set up by the government.”

Five other countries are affected: Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland.

The Government of Zambia, where 800 people have been affected, has put 34 out of the country’s 72 districts on red alert. In Zimbabwe, heavy rains have continued since December, with the floods affecting 10,300 people.
The situation is especially precarious for populations across the region, which was hit by floods a year ago.

Lois Austin, British Red Cross relief operations manager, said: “To date, the emergency response has seen the success of disaster preparedness work, but it is vital the international community continues to provide support as needs will increase with thousands displaced from their homes.”
