A prosthetic alone doesn't change a life - real recovery means relearning to walk and move, with rehabilitation specialists providing long-term care built around each person's needs. Since 1982, HI has provided prosthetics, braces, wheelchairs, and rehabilitation to people with disabilities worldwide, and your gift helps fund both the devices and the sustained care that makes lasting independence possible.
Millions of people worldwide live with limb loss or mobility-related disabilities caused by war, natural disaster, or disease. Without access to prosthetics, braces, or rehabilitation care, they face barriers to walking, working, and daily independence - especially in low-resource settings where rehabilitation services are scarce, expensive, or nonexistent.
HI provides prosthetics, braces, wheelchairs, and rehabilitation care tailored to each person's environment and daily needs. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and specialists support the long road to recovery, while HI trains local technicians and rehabilitation professionals to build lasting, community-based care systems.
Beyond individual recovery, HI's approach builds self-sufficient rehabilitation systems: trained local specialists, recognized professional networks, and sustainable service models integrated into national health systems. This means communities can continue providing quality rehabilitation care long after HI's direct involvement ends.
