Phoenix Burns Project

Our Mission

The Phoenix Burns Project promotes burn prevention and works to improve the quality of life for child burn survivors.

ABOUT US AND OUR GOALS

The Phoenix Burns Project, a structure of St John Relief Services based in Cape Town, was established in 2006 to:

• Advocate for the rights of the burn survivor;
• Promote awareness and prevention of burn injuries;
• Facilitate rehabilitation and social re-integration of burn survivors.

The Phoenix Burns Project consults and cooperates with all other stakeholders in burn issues, especially the Burns Unit of the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, with a view to serving the various needs of burn survivors in the above areas most effectively.
