Janeth 7 years old

Janeth is 7 years old and was hospitalized after her clothes caught fire. She suffered 2nd degree burns on 45% of her body, on her stomach, thighs and arms.

When such a large part of the body is burned, several skin transplants are needed over a long period. It is important that the individual areas heal up along the way, before the next part of the body is treated.

Each operation costs between DKK 900-1000 plus subsequent care and medication.

Many children, young people and adults come into the Burn Unit at KCMC hospital in Moshi during the year. Some have injuries that happened weeks or months ago, and others are hospitalized urgently after a recent burn accident.

Not everyone survives. But fortunately the vast majority do! And with strong professional skills and equipment, the department works continuously to improve both the treatment and the individual hospitalization time.

With your support, we can continue to help children like Janeth and many more children back to life. With you help we can support the department to a strengthened expertise in modern burn treatment.
THANK YOU ❤️🙏
