An Ongoing Nightmare for the Children of Pakistan
Even though the monsoon rains have ended in Pakistan, up to 4 million children who are living close to or in proximity to stagnant and contaminated waters continue to struggle to survive. UNICEF has been in Pakistan for months working with partners to deliver safe water, nutrition, health care and emergency services. But real economic recovery and growth can only be achieved if we can make the necessary investments to meet immediate and longer-term needs of children.

Access to these sachets of therapeutic food can help make a difference in the life of a malnourished child.
