Challenge

In Colombia there are many problems with the hospitals efectiveness. Disabled children dont have many possibilities, but in Mahavir Kmina we believe in new beginings. Our chalenge is to make little kids believe in dreams, believe in their capacities to walk again.

Solution

This microproject will specifically help us set up a prosthesis to a baby called Samuel. This little boy was borned with a problem in his heart that complicated his health and when he was 10 months old, a very strong medicine produced the amputation of his four extrimities. With your donations we could begin the process of construction and donate Samuel his prosthesis.

Long-Term Impact

Makavir Kmina provides prostheses to 450 amputees per year. This project will provide in a one-year period, prostheses to 30 children and youth between 1 and 25 years old who have suffered lower limb amputation allowing them to become independent in their daily life activities. Therefore they will have the opportunity to return to school, college or work, thus improving their living conditions and those of the people around them.
