81% of adults in Britain claim have contributed to the tsunami appeals. The NOP study, commissioned by CAF (Charities Aid Foundation), is the first attempt to assess the impact on charitable giving of one of the world's worst natural disasters.


Of those people who made donations, 84% gave because they felt deeply affected by events; 64% in response to the harrowing images shown by the media; 65% because information on how to give was readily available; and 14% gave because they knew the area or actually visited one of the regions affected."
