Mobility for All: Making Prosthetics Accessible Through Novel 3D Printing Technology

Thousands of people with disabilities (PWDs) live in three refugee camps and the surrounding communities in Kigoma, Tanzania. Faced with financial, material and human resource shortages in and out of the camps, PWDs in need of prosthetic limbs cannot access appropriate, specialised prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) services. Without the appropriate assistive devices or care, affected PWDs struggle to complete day-to-day tasks, like traveling, collecting food and earning a living.
