This Giving Tuesday Handicap International UK, a Nobel Peace Prize winning inclusion charity, is inviting you to help child amputees live more independent and hopeful lives. We are aiming to raise £3,000, which could provide 100 prosthetic limbs for children around the world.

Abdel Rahman, a twelve year old boy from Mosul, was sitting at home eating his breakfast one Friday morning when a missile fell on his house, causing injuries to his right leg. His family tried to flee the city several times, but were forced to move from district to district with no access to medical care. By the time they got to a hospital his leg had begun to turn blue and was beyond saving. Abdel Rahman himself made the difficult choice to have it amputated.

In June this year, his family travelled to Hasansham displaced people’s camp where Handicap International provided him with vital rehabilitation care, psychological support and a new artificial leg.

Because of support from people like you, we are able to offer these life-changing artificial limbs to children like Abdel Rahman, to help turn futures that seemed bleak into futures that are full of hope and possibility.This Giving Tuesday we are inviting you to help child amputees like Abdel Rahman live more independent and hopeful lives. We are aiming to raise £3,000, which could provide 100 prosthetic limbs. With your Giving Tuesday donations we can provide the opportunity for children to flourish and let them know that they are not alone.
