Give burn survivors access to rehabilitation

Through in-depth trainings and capacity building projects, Sunshine hopes to help burn professionals build the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to address the global problem of burns and ensure that burn survivors around the world have access to quality rehabilitation, so that they can regain their functions to return to an active life in society. Your support can make these project happens and change the lives not just of burn professionals, but also of the burn survivors they serve.

“I was overwhelmed by the knowledge of the clinical staff. Their mentoring helped me to learn more and improve on my technical skills. I feel very confident now that I understand burns at its various stages. I will be able to manage burn scars with a good approach." – Prathiba, India

“Before this training, we weren’t used to analyzing hand problems so specifically, so we weren’t able to set a clear rehabilitation goal and in the end, the interventions that we planned probably were not the most efficient ones. Now I know where my strengths and weaknesses are! A training program can change someone. When we see patients recover after rehabilitation, it feels really good” – Amparo, Guatemala

“We were very happy when Sunshine came to carry out a four-year training project because our patients finally had comfortable pressure garments and they were able to tolerate wearing them. We realized that children would no longer remove their garments because they no longer felt uncomfortable. The pressure garments we used to make would sometimes cause wounds but that’s no longer the case with the new garments.” – Socorro, Nicaragua

As the end of 2019 is near, we encourage you to support us during GlobalGiving’s Year-End Campaign to help train a burn professional and change the life of a burn survivor.
