With few building codes and substandard electricity, thousands of urgent burn cases
occur each day across Nepal. There are no fire alarms—not even in schools—and no
education and/or resources to handle the growing need.
Often, the burn victims are women and children. Many women are victims of
domestic abuse via boiling water, being lit on fire, or acid attacks. Women are
also the ones home cooking in unsafe conditions, and with their wrapped
clothing often leads to horrifying burns.
Children are also often victims of abuse, as well as getting into precarious
situations where they are burned via accidents and a lack of understanding by
their parents.
