Call for Donations
We started asking for donations to support those who need prosthesis.
If you wish to participate, please click on the 'Donation Page' button below.
We have been providing prosthetic legs in the Philippines and India, mainly to those who could not afford them due to economic difficulties.
In addition, due to the recent war in Ukraine, it is estimated that there are thousands of people who need prosthetic legs. We plan to provide prosthetic legs to those people.
Donations will be used to cover the costs of the various activities required to provide prosthetic legs.
We would like to ask for your support in order to deliver prosthetic legs to as many people as possible.

Definitely this system can raise the number of prosthetic leg users.

Prosthetist's Voice
Conventional prosthetic parts take a long time to be delivered and are also very expensive.
Instalimb will benefit for both prothetists and patients because it's shorter time for fabrication of prosthesis. It is also cosmetically good, looking like a copy of a real leg. That's great. This product can improve the patient's QOL (quality of life).
(Julian-Certified Prosthetist&Orthotist, University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital)
