In pictures: 'Safe schools' in Burma

Save the Children has supplied material for a "safe school" in Pein Nae Chaung village, built to give better protection from storms.

The winds of 140mph (225km/h) destroyed scores of buildings - many of the deaths were caused because people had no safe places to shelter during the storm.

Htun Aung Kyaw helped to build the new school. He says: "We really need a good strong school like this one, because if there is another Nargis, it won't fall down and people can come shelter here."

Extra brackets on the rafters, using screws instead of nails, and extra cross-beams are some of the ways to make schools stronger.

Eight-year-old Tin Lin Htun (left) survived the cyclone by clinging to a log. His parents also survived but he lost three siblings.

One year on, an estimated 500,000 people in the Irrawaddy Delta are still living in poor housing that will not stand up to the rainy season. (Images copyright: Tina Salsbury/Save The Children)
