Acid attacks are predominantly a problem in India, with a wide gulf between city and town when it comes to caring. More than just an individual problem, such attacks often affect the face and eye, including blindness, which is a societal one that can broadly affect economic productivity and access to education, leading survivors to live in isolation. The situation is worst as the specialized treatments are only available in 2-3 hospitals in the whole India and one travels more than 1000 KM to receive the treatments. Many times, people lose their hope and never receive treatments. The treatment drive is an effort to deliver better-quality treatment, medications, and surgery to survivors, through funds raised and collaborations. The organization hopes to create a work plan with many stakeholders, such as government agencies, corporate partners, and individual supporters. The project is also part of the organization's larger goal of providing free treatments and pre- and post-hospitalization care to the community of acid attack survivors at its rehabilitation center Sheroes Home. The community does not appear to be small as neither the number of such incidents nor the quality of medical care provided to the survivors appears to be improving.
This project proposes to help acid attack survivors in their medical treatment. The key objective is the assessment of the medical condition of the survivors, design of medical care plans on an individual basis, assessment of complications after surgery, and cost estimate. Because the medical procedure is lengthy and necessitates numerous visits and resources, we are raising a significant portion of the funds required for the medical drive through this campaign while simultaneously seeking out other groups to expedite the process.
