Following the tsunami,
funds were collected for Aceh by Seikatsu, an organisation of ordinary Japanese
housewives dedicated to environment, health, fair trade, empowerment of women
and improvement of workers' conditions. In 1989, these 'everyday heroines'
received the Right Livelihood Award (often called the 'Alternative Nobel
Prize') 'for creating the most successful, sustainable model of production
and consumption in the industrialised world.'
Seikatsu is supporting
the Aceh Heritage Documentation Project upon the recommendation of Dato'
Anwar Fazal
(http://www.anwarfazal.net), recipient
of the Right Livelihood Award 1982.

Heritage Trust in the past, and today they are supporting the work of the
