Cambodian Acid Survivors Charity

The Cambodian Acid Survivors Charity (CASC) was established in 2006, by its sister organization, The Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), in response to a growing number of acid burn survivors accessing the center for treatment.

Due to the decreased prevalence of acid burns in Cambodia, CASC closed its doors in 2019.

Since CASC's formation in 2006, it has been providing survivors of acid attacks with shelter, occupational training, educational funding, specialist surgery, physiotherapy and psychological counseling, both on an individual and group basis.

In addition, CASC runs a scheme entitled ‘babs', or bags by acid burn survivors, where survivors (some of them blinded by the acid) are trained to crochet bags that are then retailed by CASC on their behalf.

CASC also continues its partnership with CSC, enabling its survivors to have access to vital medical services.
