Fabricating and fitting quality, custom-fit artificial limbs is a challenge no matter where the work is done, but to give patients the quality care they need while working in developing
nations is especially challenging. Our volunteers aren’t afraid to try new methods, work long hours, and use their creativity and energy to get the job done.
Our goal is “C.A.F.S.”:
To fabricate limbs that are:
Comfortable and custom-fit to each patient
Appropriate for climate and topography of patient’s home country
Functional for the patient’s level of activity and lifestyle
Sustainable in the country by local technicians
