Legs4Africa

At Legs4Africa we have stepped in to end the wasteful disposal of prosthetic legs and get them to where they needed. A prosthetic leg has the power to repair a human being's confidence and rebuild a human life forever. Last year, our team of dedicated volunteers drove 4000 miles to The Gambia and delivered 500 prosthetic legs to The Royal Victoria Hospital. Since then we've sourced another 500 more legs, and are building bridges with collaborative partners every step of the way. The Legs4Africa story is just getting started. We are an unpaid volunteer collective who recently acquired charity status, and your help is vital to us. So far, the response from our supporters and collaborative partners alike has been overwhelming. The donation of a prosthetic leg has instant power to change a human life, as does a monetary donation to contribute towards shipping costs. In the UK, over 5,000prosthetic legs arediscarded every year, many of them in perfect condition. Once a prosthetic limb has been used or even tried on, it is considered a biohazard and cannot be redistributed in the EU. In many cases, organisations such as hospitals and care homes are forced pay to have prosthetic legs disposed of. We dream of an Africa where amputees have what they need to get back on their feet. Get involved, and find out how you can help rebuild a human life today.
