Project Description

 

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.

Special Features of Project

 

  • The gravity of the acid attack can be felt through the scars, deformities, and pain it leaves behind for a survivor to suffer throughout their life. Despite the survivors having grown stronger, the thought of not seeing the same person in front of the mirror as they were prior to the attack haunts them often. The question is not only about their looks but also about the consequent disabilities that hamper them from simply living. This serves the very intent of attackers who are atrocious enough to inflict such pain
  • This is a very crucial moment and we are looking for your participation as there has been a shift post-COVID lockdown, from delayed treatments to more hygienic needs for those who can’t afford it.  Surviving acid burn injuries can be a traumatic and distressing injury to cope with and the often prolonged recovery process can stress an individual or family’s resources. Burn injury patients survive with larger and more severe burns within the current medical system
  • Most of the hospitals are still not fully functional and travel/stay in major cities has become too expensive. Many girls couldn’t travel to cities for their routine check-ups and this affected their physical condition.
