Helping the survivors of acid attacks in Bangladesh (6395600389)
Nurse Prapti Chishim helps some of the victims of acid attacks being treated at the Acid Survivors Foundation hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) is supported by the Acid Survivors Trust International, a UK charity whose patron is HRH Princess Anne. The Trust has established foundations in six other countries, based on the Bangladesh model.
Thanks to UKaid and support from other partners, the ASF has treated some 2,500 victims since 1999, a quarter of whom are children. The incidence of attacks has declined significantly, from about 500 in 2002 to 150 in 2009.
