As a result of the Syrian conflict, 3.7 million Syrians have a disability, tens of thousands of whom need artificial limbs, orthopedic devices, and long-term rehabilitation care. Ghamkol Sharif UK have been providing financial support to a vital cause - the preparation and fitting of prosthetic limbs to amputees in need.
In a hostile environment or warzone, these prosthetics have the potential to bring hope to vulnerable families. The fitting of a prosthetic limb not only increases a persons mobility but may also restore their ability to find work and enable the beneficiary to support their family. Ghamkol Sharif UK is working with a local Limb Clinic to provide artificial limbs free of charge to disabled people affected by the conflict.
Losing a limb is a devastating physical and psychological experience, we hope that through this vital project we can restore hope to those in need.
