This document is about Faisal Public School, Multan Pakistan and Mr. Babar, MKFC Stockholm College student support activities during the flood time in Pakistan.

1. Flood in Pakistan
The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon
rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of
Pakistan. While tens of hundreds of people have been killed, millions have
been displaced, and a quarter million homes are thought to be damaged or
destroyed. The Pakistan Meteorological Department said that over 200mm
(7.88 inches) of rain fell over a 24-hours period over a number of places of
Khyper Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.
Floods have submerged 17 million acres (69,000 km) of Pakistan’s most
fertile crop land, have killed 200,000 herd of lives livestock and have
washed away massive amounts of grain.
Muzaffargarh is a town in southwestern Punjab, located on the one bank of
the Chenab River and on the other bank is Multan city. Muzaffargarh is the
neighboring town of Multan city. In this severe flooding in Pakistan summer
of 2010, was especially hard-hit, given its position between the Chenab and
Indus River.
Due to this flood up to 3.5 million children are at high risk of deadly water
borne diseases, such as Gastroenteritis, Diarrhea, and skin diseases due to
lack of clean drinking water and sanitation can pose a serious new risk to
flood victims.
After flood due to standing water there is a rapid production of mosquitoes,
abdominal disease, fever, malaria and skin diseases.

2. All schools of Punjab province have been closed due summer vacation. So,
the Government of Punjab, decided that all schools buildings should be used
as a temporary camp for flood victims (IDPs) and also give them shelter foe
few weeks.
Faisal Public School also takes part in this effort. So, from Muzaffargarh
which is only 30 km far from Multan city. Some Women and children came
to stay in Faisal Public School.

3. The management of Faisal Public School hosted the IDPS and gave them
facility of doctor, first aid, food and try to educate them about sanitation and
health awareness.

4. The teacher of Faisal Public School Babar Maqbool Khan welcome them
in the school and came to know about the problems which they are facing.
First of all one of their major problem is food. So, we provide them food.

5. SODIS METHOD
Solar water disinfection - the SODIS method - is a simple procedure to disinfect
drinking water. Contaminated water is filled in a transparent PET-bottle or glass
bottle and exposed to the sun for 6 hours. During this time, the UV-radiation of
the sun kills diarrhoea generating pathogens. The SODIS-method helps to
prevent diarrhoea and thereby is saving lives of people. This is urgently
necessary as still more than 4000 children die every day from the consequences
of diarrhoea.
SODIS (abbreviation of Solar Water Disinfection) is an initiative of Eawag. We
facilitate the dissemination of the SODIS-method in developing countries.
Thereby people in the south get access to safe drinking water and can improve
their health in the long term.

6. Then Babar Maqbool Khan told them about that how they could get safe
drinking water without any equipment. They can get safe drinking water
from SODIS Method. Then Mr. Babar Maqbool Khan showed them
practically, this method.

7. Faisal Public School also arranged a Doctor’s visit. Dr. Farrhat also told
them the importance of cleanliness and sanitation because most of diseases
are spreading due to unhygienic. We also provide them soap. Then doctor
checked one by one all the IDPS.

8. After this Mr. Babar Maqbool Khan provide children some pencils and
books. So, that they can spend their time in studying books.
There is young lady a having a cell phone. So we also included her in our
m-Health SMS Service.
We tried our best to help the flood victims personally and also tried to
mobilize the local community to support these people. Best they need is
more and more attention by the society to recover.
