A number of aid agencies have voiced concern over the desperate conditions still facing thousands of survivors of last year's South Asian earthquake.
Sunday marks the first anniversary of the quake, which killed an estimated 80,000 people in Pakistan and Indian-controlled Kashmir and left 3.5 million more homeless.
Oxfam has criticised the Pakistani government's slow response to elements of the crisis.
It told a BBC reporter that officials had prevented it from helping survivors in many isolated villages.
Christian Aid warned that this year's heavy monsoon rains had delayed the rebuilding process.
The charity also said the Pakistani government's insistence that people rebuilding their homes have them inspected at least three times to ensure they are earthquake-proof has also put the pace of work back.
"Some 30,000 people are living in tents, while most survivors are living in transitional shelters made of wood and corrugated iron sheets and will not be able to build a new permanent home until after the winter," it said.
Save the Children said thousands of youngsters faced years of classes under canvas because schools have yet to be rebuilt.
It could take seven years to reconstruct the education system in affected areas of the country after 8,000 schools were damaged and destroyed, it believes.
Volunteers working for another charity, Goal, are winding down their Pakistan operation after teaching construction skills through building demonstration shelters amid the remains of mountain villages. Goal has also trained nearly 300 craftsmen in earthquake-resistant design and construction techniques.
Andy Cox, an engineer from Abergavenny, explains on SocietyGuardian that the shelters meant people could stay near their ruined homes during the coldest season and not have to descend to camps in low-lying areas where they could have been susceptible to disease.
