About three million children were directly affected by the floods in Pakistan in 2010. About 9000 schools were partially or fully damaged and more than 5000 have been used as shelters for internally displaced people. All over Pakistan, people are re-building their own houses in the same place where the floods stormed them one year ago. That’s the only land they own. Pakistanis are trying to get on with their lives, still being aware of the monsoon’s unavoidability. Despite the challenging living conditions and lack of jobs and basic services, most children are back in school. The floods negatively affected Pakistan’s net school enrollment rate and also led to recognize the situation of many children, mostly girls, who had never had access to education before. The floods increased children’s psychosocial distress and risk of physical abuse, and reduced family and individual abilities to cope. Considering the high temperatures of the country, especially in Sindh and Punjab, many people decided to re-build their houses with mud, bricks, wood and other materials. As for children who didn’t have access to health facilities, due to the post-flood international aid, they are now seeing doctors, nurses and midwives, and they are learning for the first time how better health care can improve their lives.
