Every year in Bangladesh an estimated 5000 children are born with a clubfoot deformity.

Clubfoot is a condition where a child is born with deformed feet turned inwards at birth. The congenital clubfoot is the most common serious birth defect of human bones and joints. Left untreated, the foot remains twisted inwards and becomes painful. Deformity leads to the downward spiral of disability, dependency, and demoralisation. The needs of these children add to the burdens of their families and communities, and are a significant cause of poverty.

 

We have reached our target:

At January 2012, we have completed our clinic network so that no child has to travel more than 60 kilometres for obtaining treatment. Now, we strive to make the service in our clinics sustainable.

With your financial help, together with Rotary clubs around the world, and the dedicated Ponseti practitioners in Bangladesh, we can make this program sustainable so that all children born with clubfeet get treatment before they reach their third birthday..
