A student picks her way past a primary school damaged by  floods in Harunkuli village in Balasore district. The building came down a month ago, unable to withstand five days of continuous rain. Fortunately, the school's approximately 80 students continue to learn in a wealthy villager's home, where they have been lent a couple of rooms in which to hold classes.

Across the region, Save the Children is focusing on education for flood-affected children. Many schools have been destroyed or are being used as temporary shelters for displaced families. The agency will provide supplies and other assistance to ensure that children do not fall behind in their studies. (Photo credit: Madhuri Dass/ Save the Children)
