Let's give hope to 150 burned children in Peru

Location: Lima, Peru
Summary
Fifteen thousand Peruvian children are victims of body burns every year. Children between 2 and 5 years of age from the poorest areas of the country are the most affected. Compressive garments, together with physical and occupational therapies, are the perfect remedy to treat physical burn scars. These garments are custom-made for each patient and are readjusted periodically. Made to use daily, for 24 hours, the garments are to be removed only during showers or to eat in some cases.
