In Peru, over half the population lives below the poverty line.  The average income for many is less than $2 a day.  1/3 of homes cook on open fires, have no running water, or electricity.  Burns are the most common injury in the developing world.  In Peru 100,000 people per year suffer significant burns that require medical intervention.  Peru health care covers the cost for initial management; however it does not cover the costs of scar revision, as this is deemed cosmetic.
