Thanks to the generosity of GlobalGiving donors and other Interplast supporters, the Zambia burn surgery project has been a great success thus far.
During the past 12 months, Interplast's surgical partner in Zambia has performed 184 procedures on 75 patients. These patients are Zambian children who, in addition to living in extreme poverty, have suffered from severe burn injuries that left them disabled. With the help of Interplast and supporters like you, these children have now regained abilities, such as the use of their hands or arms, that are crucial to their survival and productivity as they grow into adulthood.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
