For more information on the earthquake in China on May 12, 2008 and for a list of agencies that are providing aid, please go to http://www.interaction.org/china.

From Interaction's website:
A number of InterAction members have been working in Sichuan and nearby provinces in long-term development activities, and have mobilized to assist survivors. Other InterAction members are responding to local needs through partners on the ground who will be distributing essential relief supplies such as food, clean water, medicines, shelter materials and blankets furnished by or purchased with funds from the InterAction members.

While InterAction itself does not accept donations, the InterAction members listed here are accepting contributions for assistance and have agreed to a set of standards to ensure accountability, professional competence and quality of service.
