Restoring flood-damaged schools in Pakistan
Due to a continuing shortage of desks, tables and chairs, students at a middle school for girls in northern Pakistan move what refurbished furniture they have to classrooms where it's most needed.

A class in post-flood recovery
As many as five thousand schools were damaged or destroyed in Pakistan's record flooding of 2010. During this past summer, the IRC rehabilitated nine schools in northern Pakistan. We also retrained teachers, and revived Parent Teacher Associations.

Aid organizations estimate that as many as five thousand schools were damaged or destroyed in Pakistan's record flooding of 2010. Even now, efforts at rehabilitating the structures continue — at the same time improving the educational experience.
During this past summer, the International Rescue Committee rehabilitated nine schools in northern Pakistan. We also retrained teachers, and revived Parent Teacher Associations.
I recently visited three of the schools and returned with these images illustrating progress.
The IRC also operates tent schools at one of Pakistan's largest camps for people uprooted by conflict in the region.
