History
Tsunami REACH was founded in the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 2, 2005 by Donald A. Stevens, a business owner trained as an Architect and licensed as a builder in three states, who saw the immediate need to provide long term, environmentally friendly building solutions in order to properly rebuild Sri Lanka. Mr. Stevens, along with his partner A. Crosby Wood, owners of Stucc On Steel, LLC of Virginia have pledged the full use of their Light-Gauge Steel & High-Strength Structural Stucco Building System free of any royalties and licensing fees until February 2010.

Tsunami Statistics
~ Sri Lanka~
Oxfam International reported to the Asian Tribune on December 19th, 2005 "that only a mere 5,000 houses will be completed by the end of the year, despite Sri Lanka still needing approximately 73,000 permanent homes."
WE DID IT!!!
With the help of Habitat For Humanity Sri Lanka, our in-country sponsor, and these US Corporations, we built two houses in Balapitiya, Sri Lanka for Tsunami families who lost their home.
