| Thirteen PEKKA members died during the tsunami; about 50 members of the group lost their homes, and another 50 lost capital from the businesses they had started. Four months after the disaster, several of them managed construction of their houses. Some have restarted their salt farming, while others have used funding to purchase goats. The group has also been using money from tsunami donors to start up new businesses. --In Bahasa Indonesia with English subtitles-- |

| As a result of years of armed conflict, many women in Aceh became heads of households and faced hardship to provide for their families. The tsunami made things even worse. With the assistance of the PEKKA program, many of these women are now starting to change their lives around by improving their skills, benefitting from microfinance schemes, and participating in their communities.
