ACCT was setup in January 2006 in the aftermath of the Tsunami of 26 December 2004.
The Catholic Church in Singapore collected more than S$1.5m and ACCT made 13 grants for various relief and reconstruction efforts for the Tsunami victims.
Several missions have been organized, including 6 specific housebuilding efforts involving lay volunteers from across all parishes to Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India.
A Disaster Aid Fund has just been setup to enable fast response to future crisis and disasters.
