​Two weeks ago, the country of Tanzania suffered a horrific tragedy when an oil tanker was involved in an accident and exploded on a busy street!  Over 60 people were killed instantly and to date, over 100 have died.   In one month, Burn Care International will be traveling to the Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam to set up a rehabilitation program for the survivors.   They desperately need our help!!

Will you partner with us make this possible?  Ironically, we were already talking with this hospital about setting up a rehabilitation clinic BUT the need became urgent when over 40  survivors from this accident were all admitted to MNH in one day.  We knew we had to help and the time to help is NOW!!

Burn healing is a LONG process, anywhere from 1-3 years.  Tanzania needs a proper rehabilitation program to meet the needs of burn victims and to help minimize unnecessary scars and contractures.  
Custom made pressure garments, physical therapy, appropriate nutrition, psychological counseling, and hygiene all make a well rounded rehab program.   During our time there, we will make custom pressure garments for each survivor, implement individualized treatment plans, and train the staff there to run their own effective program.   Muhimbili National Hospital will then serve as the model site for rehabilitative burn care in Tanzania with future plans to train across the country for all hospitals with burn patients.    

Helping burn patients heal properly changes lives and gives hope.  These patients desperately need help and your donation will truly make a difference!!   Your investment will meet the immediate needs of these survivors and also insure a better future for burn patients in Tanzania !    Please give generously!   All donations are tax deductible with zero administration fees!  Pay pal is a convenient method of giving but they do charge a small fee.  If you would prefer, you can send a tax deductible donation to

GIVE A CHILD A CHANCE 
Picture
     Please don't let these photos of healthy, happy, smiling children deceive you - burns are painful, life changing, and scary for children and their families.  These kids were the lucky ones......through the work of Burn Care International we were able to give them a chance to get the care they needed and hope for their future.  The process is not easy and our patients do not walk in our doors happy....these families come in scared, often traumatized by their experience, and fearful of what is going to happen.  We are humbled to realize that in the past twelve years we have been blessed to help give over 10,000 patients encouragement, effective care, and a chance...... Your investment makes a difference!  Join our efforts to improve the lives of burn victims in developing countries around the world!
