Story 1
The Smile Foundation and Avela Foundation are giving young burn survivors a reason to smile again.
Through their partnership, supported by Umatter, children receive life-changing laser therapy at Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital every Friday.
This innovative treatment uses advanced fractional laser technology to soften and reshape thick scar tissue, easing pain and improving mobility.
The treatment restores confidence, movement, and joy to young burn survivors, going beyond just a medical procedure.
One parent, Tebogo Motukisi, was so inspired by the programme that she is now involved with the Smile Foundation and Umatter, offering guidance and emotional support to other families navigating similar journeys.
