Japan.

When a 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a massive tsunami that reached more than 100 feet in height, thousands of lives were lost and coastal villages suffered from billions of dollars in damage.

Operation Blessing arrived on the scene within days, delivering food, water and kerosene heaters to makeshift shelters. Our relief efforts have continued with the distribution of prescription eyeglasses, generators and washing machines. And now, we are helping families rebuild—teams are aiding coastal villages by helping fishermen replace lost equipment that will help them regain their livelihoods.
