Story
We are seeking funding for a shipment of 70 prosthetic legs to ‘The Centre National D'appareillage Orthopedique Du Senegal’ (CNAO Senegal).
This will enable the clinic to have the components and materials needed to fit recipients with a prosthetic leg. This support is essential for the ongoing work of Legs4Africa which is enabling people with physical disabilities in low income countries to claim control of their lives, develop social networks, find work, and be accepted as equals by their local community. We would like to offer your organisation the opportunity to fund this shipment, to make a difference in so many lives and to further the effective impact of Legs4Africa.
We are asking you for just £500 to enable this shipment which is scheduled for May 2017. Your contribution could be the difference between the opportunity of a fulfilling life and a life of immobility.
Legs4Africa visited the CNAO in 2015 to assess the need of the centre. It had two category 2 trained prosthetics technicians and a well equipped workshop. They have experts in physiotherapy and amputee rehabilitation, and yet, due to a profound lack of manufacturers and resources in West Africa, they are missing the vital equipment to build strong and comfortable legs.
