Java: CARE
Providing material aid for victims of the 2006 earthquake: food and equipment
AREVA helped victims of an earthquake that shook the island of Java overnight on May 27-28, 2006. Support took the form of food, equipment and medicine as well as a donation to assist CARE, an NGO, with its rehabilitation project.
Survival goods and electrical equipment
AREVA mobilized quickly to help victims. The local office immediately:
- distributed aid in the form of food, blankets and medicine to employees whose families were affected,
- donated transformers valued at 50,000 dollars to ensure rapid restoration of electrical infrastructure.
Supporting the CARE project
To supplement this local aid, the AREVA group chose to support the CARE Association’s emergency and rehabilitation project with a donation of 50,000 euros.
CARE is particularly involved in the Klaten district, one of the areas most devastated by the earthquake. This initiative is part of an ongoing partnership with the NGO that began after the tsunami in 2005.
A heavily affected region
The earthquake hit overnight on May 27-28, 2006, resulting in 3,000 deaths and thousands of injuries.
The disaster struck a densely populated area near the city of Yogyakarta, on the south coast of Java. More than 340,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged according to the Indonesian government, and the number of homeless was estimated at 1.5 million people (3 times the number of homeless in the province of Aceh after the December 2004 tsunami).
