Give 40 Children in Asia the Ability to Walk!

A Leg To Stand On has been treating children with limb disabilities for more than 12 years now, and for the last three years we have been overjoyed to share that journey with you.

In those 12 years, we have been privileged enough to treat more than 13,000 children with limb disabilities in developing countries all over the world. With your help, we hope to treat 2,000 more this year - no small feat!

But as we are able to treat more and more children every year, we are also receiving more requests than ever for treatment.

Children like 17-year-old Sofi who suffers from cerebral palsy - a neurological disorder that primarily affects body movement and muscle coordination. 

Sofi is able to walk with the assistance of others but because of years sitting cross-legged, she prefers to crawl the majority of the time. Although Sofi has spent years studying at a school for children with disabilities, she feels too ashamed around her peers to continue her education.

In early 2015, Sofi was identified by ALTSO’s program partner to participate in a three-week intensive therapy program.  Sofi's confidence began to increase. She has shown significant improvement both physically and emotionally. Her muscle contractures in both her hands and feet have reduced and her ability to walk and hold things is becoming easier to manage. The program also encourages parents to support their child's independence - enabling Sofi to conduct a few exercises on her own.

WIth your help we can continue to make a difference in lives of children like Sofi. Please join us today.
