Our “STEP-BY-STEP PROJECT” plan:

  • PHASE 1 – JORDAN (COMPLETED):
    A pilot to provide lower limb prosthetics to 5 kids.
    • 5 kids received their 3D printed prostheses.
    • The last kid will get their prosthetic next week.
    • We started psychosocial support for the kids.
    • Physical therapy will start next week.
  • PHASE 2 – (NOW) GAZA:
    Launch a pilot in Gaza to provide kids with custom 3D printed lower limb prosthetics, then scale operations. .
    • iphone in Gaza for training partner, how to 3D scan amputees
    • MOU signed with the Artificial Limbs & Polio Center. ALPC is a non-governmental, non-profit organization established in 1974. It is a center with a great reputation in Gaza, providing prosthetic and orthotic services to all.

3D scan, design, and printing can give mobility to Amputees.

3,000 to 5,000 people are estimated to need a prosthetic solution in Gaza.

Only 9 doctors trained as prosthetists remain.

Many rehabilitation clinics were destroyed.

The road to serving children in Gaza Starts with "Step-By-Step"
