Our project to help 40 children in Asia gain or regain their mobility has now treated 30 of the 40 children - thanks to you!!
But, after the tragic earthquake in Nepal, we are already seeing the need for even more pediatric orthopedic care in the wake of the disaster.
ALTSO has been partnered in Nepal since 2009, helping them reach the most rural and under served children in the country who otherwise would have no means of receiving the treatment that they desperately need for their limb disabilities.
This project has already helped to treat several children in Nepal and can now be a life-changing event for each child, a glimmer of hope and a chance at opportunities that would be otherwise missed during this horrific tragedy.
Right now, we are working to raise money for Nepal's children specifically. Anything raised on GlobalGiving in the next two weeks will go directly to Nepal in addition to the funds ALTSO has already committed for this year's treatment.
Please keep the families of Nepal in your thoughts and help us to begin providing relief to the thousands who are affected by this disaster.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
