This project will support the design and 3D printing of upper-limb prosthetics to restore hope and independence for 150 underserved children and adults living with upper-limb loss. Through affordable, lightweight, and functional prosthetic hands created using advanced 3D printing technology, the initiative will enable beneficiaries to regain mobility and daily function. Led by World Action Fund in partnership with the global e-NABLE volunteer network, the project will provide these for free.
Uganda lacks affordable upper-limb prosthetic services, leaving over 3,000 amputees especially women, children, and refugees excluded from education, work, and social life. Many face trauma, stigma, and preventable health issues. This project fills a critical gap by offering accessible, trauma-informed prosthetic support that restores mobility, dignity, and inclusion.
WAF and e-NABLE will deliver 3D-printed upper-limb prosthetics to 150 children and adults in underserved Ugandan communities. Through mobile outreach clinics, beneficiaries receive assessments, fittings, training, and psychosocial support close to home. By removing cost and access barriers, the project restores mobility, confidence, and inclusion, helping people return to school, work, and community life.
This project will transform the lives of 150 individuals by restoring mobility and independence through affordable upper-limb prosthetics. Beneficiaries will gain improved access to education and employment, reducing stigma and isolation. Over time, increased inclusion and economic empowerment will strengthen mental health, promote social acceptance, and drive lasting community change in underserved Ugandan regions.
