Beneficiaries
Sadly, the demand for upper limb prostheses in developing countries is huge.
People lose their hands in vehicle and industrial accidents, to violence, medical misadventure, and many other reasons.
Many people have no access or ability to get an artificial hand – let alone a functional one.
Our products are distributed completely free of charge in many countries in Africa and the sub-continent.
