ShelterBox, and Other Relief Organizations

If you're interested in making donations to tsunami victims in Japan, here are some organizations working with them: 


SHELTERBOX: You could donate a box in the name of an organization, individual, etc.  Each box includes a tent for a family of 10, cooker, blankets, water purification, tool kit, eating utensils, first aid kit, and other items survivors need following a disaster.  Every box bears its own unique number, and is monitored and tracked for which donations are spent on which boxes.  Donate here: ShelterBox

AMERICAN RED CROSS: The American Red Cross is currently supporting and advising the Japanese Red Cross, which continues to assist the government in its response.  Donate here: American Red Cross

GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami such as International Medical Corps, Save the Children, etc. Donate here: GlobalGiving
