🏫 Meet Arooj Fatima, your guide to a school transformed!
With excitement and pride, Arooj takes us around her school in Larkana, rehabilitated after the devastating 2022 floods. For Arooj and her classmates, the improvements mean safer spaces, renewed confidence and a better learning experience. With support from the @CanHCPakistan and in partnership with the @SindhGovt1, #UNDPinPakistan is rehabilitating 46 flood-affected schools across Larkana, Dadu and Kambar-Shahdadkot. Improved classrooms, sanitation facilities and accessible infrastructure for students with disabilities are helping create safer, more inclusive learning environments for over 15,000 students.
