Updates from Pakistan

Our team in Pakistan continues to distribute $45 vouchers for families living in schools, public buildings and makeshift camps to buy what they need. We distributed checks to 1,250 families on Saturday, as well as another 1,550 on Monday.

We're also assessing where we can improve the overburdened water and sanitation situation at some of the schools where displaced families are staying. Some of these same schools are being evaluated for youth psychosocial program sites. We're selecting 10 schools where we'll be organizing activities for displaced children.
