Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare genetic disease, for which no cure has been found yet. Many children living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) in Brazil do not have access to much needed wound care supplies to alleviate their constant suffering and diminish the deterioration of their global health.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to fulfill the need for wound care supplies of 70 Brazilian families that have children with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Most of our families come from underprivileged sectors of the Brazilian society and live in a merely tragic situation with their child with EB.

We conduct a Wound Care Distribuition Programa as well as emotional and informative support to our 70 families that have kids with Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Along the five years of existence of the SOS EB Kids Corp. we have been able to organize its operation to face the challenges to achieve our goal.

We were able to launch and establish a Project called the "Godmothers Project" where 25 "godmothers" and coordinators make viable the communication between our NGO and the families we assist. They give emotional and informative support, as well as they keep track of the wound care the families need which are fulfilled by our Wound Care Distribution Program, lead by a logistics operational team. The team is responsible for buying, storing and sending the wound care supplies that were demanded by the families.

Currently, we are expanding to offer multidisciplinary assistance to our families, developing programs for improvement of their Nutritional and Oral Health.

Five years ago we started our work assisting one child. A year later we had 50 children. Nowadays we honor our mission assisting 75 children with EB. We were able to go beyond our first intent which was to provide them with wound care supplies - we have created bonds with our families through the daily emotional and informative support we offer them. They trust and appreciate the SOS EB Kids Corp. presence in their lives.

Some of our families didn't even know the variety of dressings, ointments, tubular nets we donate which considerably increase their kid's quality of life.

Our ethical, hard and committed work has been very much rewarded by the credibility and respect with have gain from the EB community in Brazil. We have several impressive reviews from the families we assist.
