Step by Step Project

Help a Child to Walk & Play Again!

We are providing prostheses with custom made 3D-printed sockets to child amputees, including those affected by conflict. Delivering holistic care to the children, including physical therapy and psycho-social support.

The “Step by Step” pilot is working with our technical advisors to:

Start with a pilot in Jordan, to deliver care to 5 children.
Redesign part of our current office, to setup a new prosthetic clinic.
Hire 3 full-time staff a prosthetist, 3D technician, and a project manager.
Provide ‘hands on’ training for a Prosthetist and 3D technician in Jordan
Utilize 3D scanning and printing techniques for custom prosthetic sockets
Include physiotherapy and psycho-social support in a holistic care model
Develop a scalable model that can support INGOs and health partners to meet regional needs.

8,000 people are estimated to need a prosthetic solution in Gaza.

Only 11 doctors trained as prosthetists remain.

All rehabilitation clinics were destroyed, but a few are starting operations again.

3D printed prosthetics will provide amputees living in Gaza’s war-torn conditions with mobility.

Our technical advisors are willing to train our staff to take digital scan of an amputee’s limb. That file can be professionally modified by a CAD expert (on a computer) and then 3D printed for the exact shape needed for the custom socket.

3D Printed Prostheses:

Utilize non-medical personnel for scanning
3D print the prosthetic socket in an hour or so

The road to serving children in Gaza Starts with "Step by Step"

HELP US PROVIDE 50 CHILDREN IN GAZA WITH PROSTHESES SO THEY CAN WALK AND PLAY AGAIN.
