so far in a race against time, they are peers and rivals with one daring gold to help smart nature. the boy likes watching on youtube dw documentary. you're watching data, will you news asia coming up today, parts of pakistan and continue to struggle one year after devastating floods children and their access to schools have been one of the biggest challenges will explain why plus, how boys of the east atkins on horseback play a game that has endured for hundreds, some say thousands of years. the

my name is melissa chan, thanks for joining us. one year after the catastrophic floods in pockets don life and the disaster had regions have not resumed to normal levels. and children have been the ones most impacted by that lasting damage, specifically access to education. some 27000 schools were destroyed by those floods and many remain closed due to the lack of clean water and sanitation. according to united nations figures that prevented roughly 2000000 children from showing up in classrooms, dw is being his job. it reports been the floods had last year and her family had no choice but to leave their home. husband died life a booted. that's what the tenure we've missed the most was going to school. as wanted to see, did the family done back to that home in a village in southern cent kravon,

so focused on things that finally given back to normal going this morning. no start with preparing for her school. we had ordered school in the village, a student damaged from the flag border, which means she has to walk 3 to 4 to meet us to reach her new school in another village. as she sometimes joins a group of other goods from her village walking together, it's safer. my studies were going really well. then we were suddenly hit by floods. they on my back off the back. i was unable to meet my friends. i cried a lot. i used to miss my home and my school body. i that, that nice to set that up. this is a pretty some school in the vicinity or for religious. one reason they didn't know sending the children and especially goes through the school is because the school has toilet facilities. yeah,

i'm not on photo while you was left was it had destroyed the boundary rules of the school level and the toilet. felt like when we opened to school, only a 100 students were coming and know goes with the gun. when we spoke to the parents, some of the doctors said they constant that goes here. if the toilets had moved boundary will have a good start up. but you'll get leo accidentally, i mention that unless i like how many bedrooms by me, the 2 of them can use bushes as mix of toilets. it is supposedly unacceptable for goods without proper toilet facilities. the safety of goods is that shift they can be of harassment. and also diseases like cause it on a few months ago the school management was able to build the septic toilet for goods with the head before the end. use themes running what the school is. there's a blessing and duty to the gods have been duct cleaning. if practices to ensure they don't fall sick this school in

a nearby village has been completely damaged, was washed away. toilets and furniture completely destroyed. this was the only school for the local community to go to your school buttons at the school building. if this has been rebuilt, is, may, i have had a washroom facilities. so then the girls from this village is that i wouldn't have to travel for the last name, unless it's really william john. and there are incidents of street dogs biting people. sort of the men, so it's important that the schools and jokes of villages will become a functional way, easier for girls to reach him. don't get to school somebody the full functional j w that they're missing out in education is still the d for many in very good. that's good. that's fine. yeah, because there are no toilets in the school that the my mother asked me not to attend the school. i have to go to mitchell could end up doing thousands of dummy

school themes. the future for an entire generation is that just and every effort cones ensuring a bright future, at least for some of the students. joining us from is long about is our if job, our con pockets done director of water aid. thanks for coming on the program. we, we just saw a report and looking at the long term influence of last year as floods, particularly when it comes to education, access to clean water and sanitation see to be preventing many students from attending schools. how quickly are facilities being built to get children back into classrooms to the well actually this is jason is that you see the it was uh, it is easy to little funding at the moment because then you know, go to geneva like a conference in january and stayed almost $10000000000.00 at

a place, but only if you don't want her to be in. i'd be disbursed so far. so because of that i think and, and also i think with all the everything in the head that is happening around the globe. the children that did as 2 schools, we would you know what his invitations disability especially are lacking in because of that to me. and i've seen some children that still out of school. so i think it's ever colored really uh, added are still issues on the ground. it sounds like a lot of money that's still waiting to be disbursed. how quickly do think this will happen and must be very frustrating for parents who want to send their children to school as, as soon as possible. i to yeah, actually you see, it is it's, it's actually a coordinate problem that was existed featured by the flat. so for example, those are especially heavy issues with access to it's the most, any addition facilities in, in a number of schools in washington sanitation. so it's in facilities. our liking

especially is any patient because goes actually sometimes don't go to school due to use basically this patient is any like during the day is a sanitation is a serious issue for them. so yes, it is quite frustrating for everyone. and i think that didn't unless you know, the funding floors have been has to the level that was placed in, in, in, in, in geneva. i think, you know, this progress can still be slow. so i think the key is around making sure that data is monday, can begin to support the government and support the local communities in making sure that was interesting to that is that was destroyed is the ability to do that. the benefits as quickly as possible, because remember there was another sees that are flooding this here or there it was localize mostly plastics. but i think the situation was again, it's estimated by the clips. it'd be see it as well. and some of it was not just, you know, related to that ends in by august. um it was also because by august the,

you know, most of the dealers, the dealers, i've seen a number of dealers coming from india. it was or they need to buy, get started. so that also was localized learning and also learning and some editors that had not previously received. i don't know if let's make the switch slip glitch in the us papers that you know, that hadn't received a lot of water in the last few years. but this year again, be able to see those pending in those doors also. so it is a continuous struggling for the communities living in these areas. a how does an organizations like yours plan when we face this unpredictable, quote, a global climate emergency you talk about the floods that keep coming, right? not just the big one from last year, but of smaller incidents that you have to sort of contend with. yes, well actually the work at different levels on the ground. for example, we work especially on making sure that the organization and id facilities that is

stored in the leg effective communities. and then using that experience agree, tried to highlight with the government as well as with the daughters that this is a serious issue. and especially, i think, you know, in the, in, in, for example, incorporated did, we are looking at the issue of how the climate change is impacting the situation in countries like focused on and how, you know, the national community can support the situation where, you know, by your son is a net recipient of climate change impacts both long term as well as in terms of being struck in this in terms of these team events. so we could do to or less than one percent to the carbon emissions, but it's the impact of what is happening beyond that. but is there it is that you think think goes and it takes me, those governments who should take responsibility for, for taking up the lord that the people that the government though focused on are taking every step by con of water a thank you so much for joining us,
