Storyline

The floods in Pakistan have displaced millions of families and nearly half those affected are children.

UNICEF described the crisis in the country as a "children’s emergency" and has taken steps to provide them with a safe and supportive environment by setting up temporary learning and recreational sites in each camp.

Girls and boys get the opportunity to play and learn in a protected environment with care givers, who assist them in dealing with trauma and teach them the basics through semi-structured learning. Art and recreation is encouraged.

Each site is supplied with a school-in-a-box, which aims to help re-establish learning as the first step towards the restoration of normal schooling following an emergency.

The crisis has brought the opportunity for change, which UNICEF and its partners are working to ensure will be for the better.
