Through DisneyHand, The Walt Disney Company made a donation of $1 million to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for tsunami relief. On top of the corporate donation, Disney employees also contributed significantly to the fund. The donations went towards safe drinking water, healthcare, disease prevention, tents, hygiene kits, cooking utensils, mental health counseling and disaster preparedness and prevention measures.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies recently announced that the $1.2 billion pledged worldwide for tsunami relief has met the costs of the entire Red Cross tsunami relief program.
