Every year, millions of people suffer severe burn injuries – most of them in low-resource countries where access to modern healthcare is limited or nonexistent. Children, women, and the poor are hit the hardest. Many die, and those who survive are often left with devastating scars – both physical and emotional.
The Swedish Burn Care Foundation works to change this. By building modern burn care
facilities and offering skin grafts instead of simple wound dressings, we save lives,
reduce suffering, and give more people a chance at a dignified life. Thanks to support from individuals and companies, we’re able to make a real difference.
The Swedish Burn Care Foundation is a Swedish non-profit organization working to improve treatment for burn victims and people with severe wounds in low-resource countries, primarily in Africa. This is mainly done by funding the establishment of burn care units connected to existing local hospitals.
We were founded on a simple yet powerful idea: no one should have to die or suffer needlessly due to lack of medical care – simply because they were born in the wrong place.
Our work makes a difference every day. And it’s only possible thanks to people’s willingness to help.

At Arba Minch General Hospital in southern Ethiopia, construction is currently underway for a brand-new surgical unit – a vital step toward providing advanced surgical care for patients with severe burn injuries. The project is funded in close collaboration with the Norwegian organizations Facing a Child and the Children’s Burn and Wound Care Foundation, and represents a significant addition to the region’s under-resourced healthcare system. Once completed, the unit will be able to treat more patients and enable more life-saving procedures on site.
In close partnership with the Norwegian organization Children’s Burn & Wound Care Foundation, The Swedish Burn Care Foundation builds, equips, and trains burn care clinics in Africa.
