Limb disabilities are not considered life-threatening by most humanitarian aid organizations. This causes vulnerable populations across the developing world to simply be overlooked.
But here at ALTSO we know that mobility is so much more than movement. Without the ability to be independently mobile, a child with an untreated limb disability has no way to physically attend school, become self-sufficient and earn gainful employment later in life.
Knowing the undeniable and life-changing impact that treatment can make in the lives of ALTSO's patients, we strive to find the countries that other organizations are less likely to work in, or have overlooked. Our commitment is to ensure that the needest populations have access to the free, high-quality care they deserve.
We are thrilled to announce three new program partners to help us continue to do just that:
All three of these new patterns have proven track records of providing high-quality care and will be well suited to help identify new children who are in need of care but unable to afford it. ALTSO will begin each partnership by delivering a shipment of Joshi prosthetic limbs in the coming weeks to begin treatments right away!
