Since the devastating floods that hit the Kalash Valleys, in northern Pakistan in the summer of 2013, the children of Balanguru Village have been without a primary school building.

Flooding destroyed much of the already fragile infrastructure in July 2013, including homes, communal buildings, water channels and crops. The small primary school building was washed down the valley, leaving students without their classrooms. Since then the children have been taking classes outdoors (and in tents as pictured below) with no formal school setting.

While the Pakistani government has agreed to provide a new building, parents and Kalash leaders are understandably concerned about re-building the school on the same exposed plot of land for fear of future flooding.

And that’s where we hope the Wild Frontiers Foundation can step in and help the community by raising £5000 needed to purchase an alternative piece of land and accommodate the primary school students in a much safer environment.
