Help correct baby Eli's bowed legs in Uganda

Summary

This micro project will facilitate baby Eli's bowed leg correction. Bowed legs (genu varum) is a condition in which a person's knees stay wide apart when they stand with their feet and ankles together which is a result of the curled-up position of the fetus in the womb during development. The problem can be reversed easily at infant stage, baby Eli is 2 years old
