A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO)

We are a 501(c)3, NYC based nonprofit, providing free prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, and appropriately fitted wheelchairs, to children living with limb disabilities in the developing world, whose families, earning an average of $2.50/day, could otherwise never afford care. We believe that mobility is more than movement - it's a human right. Committed to continual care, we provide treatment to children served through the age of 21, ensuring their independent mobility and all that it provides - self-sufficiency, access to education, increased confidence, community acceptance, and future gainful employment - is never compromised. One simple treatment, provided by us thanks to your support, can transform a life and break the cycle of poverty a child was born into. Since 2003, we have provided life-changing treatment to over 20,000 children. We currently operate 10 programs in: - Afghanistan - Bangladesh - Cambodia - India - Indonesia - Laos - Nepal - Pakistan - Somaliland - Uganda
