NetMarkAid is a new fundraising concept that ELM-UVI volunteers and donors are joining. "Humanitarian Entrepreneurs" can now make a difference by building a network of supporters to raise funds and earn an income doing it. If your life has been changed by working with ELM consider NetMarkAid as a vehicle for generating long term support. Membership fees feed undernourished kids and you can arrange to tithe your income to ELM or other charities you wish to support.

Surf Aid International is also working in the area, concentrating on Nias.

ISLANDAID sustainable support to isolated communities
operated by The Electric Lamb Mission

On December 26, 2004, the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia was rocked by one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history. The tsunami that followed had a devastating affect on the region. Many small coastal towns were left inaccessible by road. ELM was formed to bring aid to these remote areas. ELM has grown and expanded it's mission to support isolated island communities in Indonesia and the region. We are now called ISLAND AID Organization.
