Hurricane Relief
Make a donation here to help recovery efforts on the U.S. Gulf Coast and Haiti following Hurricanes Gustav, Ike and all storms of the 2008 hurricane season. Four storms - Fay, Gustav, Hanna and Ike - have ravaged Haiti since mid-August, killing over 600 people and affecting hundreds of thousands more. At least 100,000 homes were inundated by surging waters in southeastern Texas as a result of Hurricane Ike, the city of Galveston and other coastal communities were devastated by floods. Recovery from these storms will be a long term effort.
Cyclone Aila
Cyclone Aila struck eastern India and coastal Bangladesh on Monday May 25 leaving millions of people displaced and in desperate need of food, water and shelter.
It is estimated that 80,000 acres of rice paddy and other crops have been destroyed, about 250,000 acres partially destroyed and over 40,000 poultry and livestock have been killed. Make a donation here to fund the relief effort for those displaced by Cyclone Aila.

Relief for Burma/Myanmar
Donate here to aid recovery efforts in Burma/Myanmar where hundreds of thousands of people have been left homeless and without clean drinking water and food by a severe cyclonic storm which struck Friday May 2nd. Less than a week after the storm, the death toll already exceeded 20,000 with 40,000 people still missing. Assessment teams estimate that up to 2 million people have been affected by the cyclone, many of them already living in poor conditions, therefore making the prospect of recovery very difficult for them without assistance.
Earthquake Recovery in China's Sichuan Province
In October 2008 Music for Relief, in partnership with Emma Ticketmaster, funded four diverse earthquake recovery projects presented by grassroots organizations from all over China. These innovative programs were created to address social and environmental issues faced by those in China's Sichuan Province recovering from the 5.12 earthquake.
