A hand-up to help others through building prosthetic arms for those in need supporting over 80 countries!
First and foremost,
thank you
Your gift of time today. The World Health Organization estimates that, in the developing world, there are 40 million amputees, and only 5% of them have access to any form of prosthetic care. Originally, The Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation intended to design a functional prosthetic hand for children injured by land mines. Over time, this changed to a design for a low-cost, light, durable, and functional prosthetic hand to help anyone who needed yet could not afford available alternatives.

Recycling is hard so we made this resource list to make it easier!
We build our volunteer events to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Whether it is offsetting the carbon emissions of the shipping process, using recycled cardboard for the boxes, or relying on algae based dyes, we’ve made conscious steps to ensure we’re doing right for our world.
How we offset our carbon footprint
We have partnered with Cool Effect on The Mare Chicose landfill project in Mauritius to reduce methane emissions, generate electricity, create jobs, and promote sustainable development. Investing in the project helps reduce our carbon footprint and support global climate change mitigation.
