Description
The Guatemala Children's Burn Foundation was founded by the owner of the El Pacayal farm, Dieter Nottebohm, in 2007. This non-profit organization has funded updated pediatric burn units and a rehabilitation clinic at three national hospitals in Guatemala. In Guatemala, 50,000 burn cases occur each year, and the majority of those cases are children from low-income families. Few hospitals in the country have adequate physical facilities or trained personnel, and the demand for burn treatment is increasing. The foundation has been instrumental in providing crucial care through improved facilities and medical equipment. Caravan is proud to support the incredible work this foundation is doing in Guatemala.
