Village Hiropatti, Bisfi Block, Dist. Maghubani, Bihar, INDIA.
A student demonstrates of mixing Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) with water to make solution outside their classroom at Middle School in Madhubani District. Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) for treatment of diarrhoea. ORS contain salts and sugar, which helps the child to absorb water to replace that is lost during diarrheal episodes. Since 2004, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) have recommended treating childhood diarrhoea by replacing fluids through oral rehydration therapy (ORT), using Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). UNICEF's CBDRR programme started in 2009 and now covers 255 villages and 155 schools in eight flood-prone districts mostly in northern Bihar. Of 38 districts in the state 28 are flood prone. Earth quakes are also common, five districts being in seismic zone V and 21 in zone IV. The programme, implemented by seven NGO partners, not only empowers schools and communities in identifying risks it also assists them in initiating disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures and linking them to government programmes.
