Many families were also able to savepart of their wages and some alumni of the programme have reopened their businesses,such as small kiosks or coffee shops, out of their savings.In addition to injecting immediate cash into communities with essentially no incomeafter the tsunami, the Programme has rehabilitated key public facilities suchas roads, bridges, drainage, hospitals, schools, universities and central markets. TheProgramme has also cleared agricultural land, salt ponds, fish ponds and shrimpponds, allowing farmers and fishers to return to work. These activities have had acommunity-wide impact, as they have allowed the resumption of economic activities.For instance, the district of Pidie, two hours drive from Banda Aceh, was a majorsalt producer and agricultural products supplier in Aceh prior to the tsunami. Thetsunami totally destroyed the district’s salt industry and it has taken months to rehabilitateand prepare the salt ponds in order to resume operations.
