Core Tip |
In Pakistan every year monsoon brings havoc in term of devastating flood. Lack of management skills results in increased transmission of waterborne diseases, vector borne diseases and viral outbreaks. Due to severe flooding, thousands of people lose their lives and millions are displaced each year. In most of the cases the children who lose their family members are forced into illegal professions of begging, child labor and prostitution which make them prone to sexually transmitted infections. |
