Ceresav Rehabilitation Center

The Center for Rehabilitation of Survivors of Acid and Burns Violence (CERESAV) is a non-governmental organization established in 2012 to address acid violence in Uganda. We work to raise awareness of acid violence in Uganda and internationally, advocate for changes in laws on the sale and distribution of acid, and provide legal and health services to acid violence survivors.

Our motto of ‘Unveiling the Scars’ reflects our ethos of encouraging survivors to live boldly and without shame.  We believe it is only when survivors display their physical and psychological scars that society will be confronted with the reality of acid violence and fully motivated to act against it.

Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness of and prevent acid and burns violence in Uganda, empower survivors by providing them support in their rehabilitation, confidence in their physical appearance, and hope for the future, and collaborate with acid attack rehabilitation centers globally to bring an end
