Article in NOMA magazine on CIIT and flood relief campaign
WebmasterNOMA students helped raise 2.25 million Pakistan Rupees (USD 26 300) for flood victims in Pakistan.
Communication Advisor in the UMB Communication Dept. Eivind Norum, journalist Teresa Grøtun and former NOMA (Norad's Programme for Master Studies) student Mr. Adeel Malik tell us about the fund raising and emergency relief initiative for Pakistan flood victims.
"As the severity of the flood catastrophe in Pakistan became clear, former NOMA students in the country immediately gathered and participated in the affected areas to help provide food and water for remote villages.
They were helped in their efforts by the training and skills they had obtained as students in water, sanitation and health studies at the University of Life Sciences (UMB) and the partner institution COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) in Pakistan.
As Associate Professor Ingrid Nyborg at UMB explains: “These newly educated students contribute with everything they know about flood waters, soil contamination and purification processes, health risks and development challenges.""
