On December 26, 2004 an unspeakable tragedy struck Sri Lanka following a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. The tsunami caused giant waves to crash ashore, destroying huge stretches of Sri Lanka’s coastline, wiping out whole communities and leaving in its wake more than 40,000 dead and 2.5 million people displaced in the region.
The Tsunami Hospital Foundation of Sri Lanka ("THF") was founded in 2005 to build a world class hospital for caring for orphans in tsunami devastated Sri Lanka.
THF plans to fund a world class, privately run, nonprofit university-research hospital with two world class institutes: 1) Infectious Diseases Institute – for prevention and curative programs, and 2) Global Nutrition Center – to combat malnutrition/hunger. The facility will be dedicated to the 1.69 million people and 15 devastated countries of Southeast Asia and East Africa.My Space Group
