Because everybody deserves
a second chance
Operation Restore aims to correct the functional
deformities of Burn Survivors who are socially & economically challenged to lead near-normal
lives
Hundreds of persons get burnt & many of them die every day
in our country
Even if the victim’s life is saved, disfigurement or crippling disabilities
make their life miserable
Find a place inside you where there is joy, it will
burn out the pain
Inception
Operation Restore
Operation Restore started in 2011 by Rotary club of Deonar
with the help of Operation Smile – a USA based NGO.
Subsequently numerous clubs from Rotary District 3140 became involved and camps
are now conducted every quarter.
The only
impossible journey is the one you never begin
Hundreds of persons get burnt & many of them die every day
in our country.
Even if the victim’s life is saved, disfigurement or
crippling disabilities make their life miserable
Approach
Operation Restore
Preparation starts by reaching out through print, radio and social media to patients all over India.
Screening is conducted by the medical and welfare team to ascertain deserving candidates needing the corrective surgeries.
Surgery and Post-operative care by the experienced doctors and well trained staff ensure a holistic recovery.

All efforts are voluntary… …be it the medical team of plastic surgeons, anaesthetists, nursing staff, physiotherapists and clinical psychologists….
…or the Rotary, Inner Wheel and Rotaract members who comfort the patients and their families and go the extra mile to help in their rehabilitation.
We can’t do great things, only
small thingswith great love
The best gift in life is a
second chance
