Artificial limbs and assistive devices (prostheses and orthoses) enable people with physical impairments or functional limitations to live healthy, dignified lives and to participate in education and the labor market. HHRD helps people who have lost a limb due to natural or manmade disasters as well as those suffering from congenital defects. The use of prostheses or orthoses can reduce the need for formal health care and long-term caregivers. Without them, people are often isolated and locked in poverty.

An orthosis is a device that supports or stabilizes an existing body part. Orthoses are used to prevent or correct deformities, improve function, or relieve pain due to spinal injuries, stroke, cerebral palsy, or musculoskeletal disorders. Common examples of orthoses include braces and splints. Donate now to help relieve their suffering!
