AMERICARES TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND
And fi nally, as part of our commitment to the world around us, UncommonGoods donates to
AmeriCares, which provides humanitarian assistance around the world and has played a major role in
the relief effort for the victims of the recent tsunami in Asia.
Heralded for its international humanitarian relief efforts, AmeriCares provides essential services for
disaster victims both domestically and in less visible parts of the world. While they specialize in rapid
mobilization to areas hit by natural disasters, the organization also works to provide crucial long-term
relief and sustainable health services. Since its inception in 1982, AmeriCares has provided over $4
billion of aid to 137 countries.
Through its Tsunami Relief Fund, AmeriCares has performed a vital role in providing much needed aid
to the survivors of the December 26 tsunami in South Asia, bringing aid, essential medicine and water
purifi cation to the people of Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF)
WWF is an international conservation organization that protects endangered species and their
environments. UncommonGoods endeavors to feature merchandise made without harm to people or
animals (for example, we do not sell leather products). Known worldwide by its panda logo, WWF is
dedicated to protecting the world's wildlife and wildlands. The largest privately supported international
conservation organization in the world, WWF has more than one million members in the U.S. alone.
WWF directs its conservation efforts toward three global goals: protecting endangered spaces, saving
endangered species, and addressing global threats. From working to save the giant panda, tiger, and
