Story
8-year-old Nirmala, pictured here, lost her right leg in the Nepal earthquake. A year on, thanks to our physiotherapist Sudan, she has not only learnt to walk on her prosthetic leg but also to laugh. When you’re learning to walk again, every step counts.
Sadly, in many countries, disabled and injured people struggle to access the care they need and find themselves excluded. We aim to raise vital funds to help them by supporting sustainable rehabilitation care in countries that need it most.
Donations to our Every Step Counts appeal were matched by the UK government from 18th April to 18th July 2016. This opportunity has now ended, but you can still donate to support disabled and injured people!
What your gift could do:
£30 could provide an artificial limb for a child like Nirmala.
£75 could provide an emergency wheelchair.
£2,285 could provide a rehabilitation equipment kit (20 wheelchairs, 20 pairs of crutches, 50 walking frames) to distribute in a disaster.
