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.

I'm very satisfied. It just fits my leg very well and very light.I can do activities easier.It is shaped like a real leg, so I am no longer the mock of others.
(Jane-Instalimb User)
It is so light that I can do a lot of things now, such as household chores, gardening.
It is waterproof, so it is also very useful when taking a bath. Instalimb's prosthetic leg is really a very big help for me.
