Every year in Bangladesh an estimated 5000 children are born with a clubfoot deformity.

The congenital clubfoot is the most common serious birth defect of human bones and joints. Left untreated, the foot remains twisted inwards and becomes painful. Deformity leads to the downward spiral of disability, dependency, and demoralisation. The needs of these children add to the burdens of their families and communities, and are a significant cause of poverty.

This is our target:

By December 2012, all children born with this deformity in Bangladesh have the opportunity for treatment by the Ponseti Method before reaching their second birthday. With your financial help, together with Rotary clubs around the world, and the dedicated Ponseti practitioners in Bangladesh, we can reach this target.
