PDA witnessed several communities that were saved from the tsunami by lush mangrove forests that absorbed the main force of the wave. Trees and mangroves will be planted to replace those destroyed and help to protect the villages in future. Planting trees also provides a way for villagers to fund-raise: for every tree planted, Baht 20 will go into the Village Bank.
PDA will also assist to provide households with rain catchments, water jars and water tanks. Households whose latrines have been destroyed will be provided with new ones. Each village bank loan with also come with some mosquito netting for the safety of the family.
