Supporting burn survivors in Ghana with care, advocacy, and long-term recovery
The Ghana Burns Foundation exists to support burn survivors and their families through awareness, recovery support, advocacy, and compassionate community care.
Assist burns survivors through free plastic surgery, advocacy, education, awareness raising and social acceptance
We work to raise awareness, mobilize support, advocate for better care, and help connect survivors and families to the compassion and resources they need.
Our vision is to create a society where all burns survivors enjoy their natural right and fully participate in society.
How the foundation creates impact
Our work combines awareness, survivor-centered support, and advocacy so that families are not left to navigate burn recovery alone.
Medical Support
Helping survivors access free plastic surgery, practical support, recovery pathways, and encouragement during a difficult journey.
Awareness & Prevention
Educating communities about burn risks, safer practices, early response, and the importance of timely care.
Advocacy & Partnership
Working with hospitals, supporters, volunteers, and partners to improve awareness, recovery support, and public compassion.
The issues we are working to address
Behind every burn injury is a person, a family, and a future that can be deeply affected by pain, cost, trauma, stigma, and limited support systems.
Limited long-term support
Recovery can continue long after emergency treatment, yet many survivors still need ongoing practical and emotional support.
Financial pressure on families
Burn injuries can place major strain on household finances, especially where treatment and recovery become prolonged.
Trauma and social stigma
Beyond physical recovery, survivors may face emotional trauma, isolation, and stigma that affect confidence and reintegration.
Low public awareness
More awareness is needed around prevention, first response, and the long-term realities faced by survivors and caregivers.
Every recovery journey deserves support
Behind every burn injury is a person, a family, and a future that still matters. Your support helps strengthen awareness, survivor care, and long-term hope.

My Journey of Resilience and Advocacy for Burn Survivors
At just a year and a half old, I suffered severe burns, leaving my body disfigured and requiring over 100 surgeries to correct the deformities. Despite the medical interventions, I still faced significant challenges. These physical scars were only part of the story. My mouth was also affected, and this left me with speech difficulties,
