Give Hope - Give a Hand

In the world today, we estimate tens of thousands of people of all ages and nationalities survive land mines, vehicular, industrial and agricultural accidents, acts of violence and war, or are born without limbs…and are unable to obtain a functional prosthetic hand. 

Even in the most record keeping oriented places, no records specific to below elbow amputees are kept. We know from our research of casualities of warfare, victims of landmines and industrial accidents around the globe that there great need for a simple, effective prosthetic hand in countries and places where many people cannot afford currently available prostheses and professional assistance required.

Our foundation meets this need with the LN-4 prosthetic hand.

The Give Hope – Give a Hand project provides a simple, light-weight, functional below elbow(BE) prosthetic hands to recipients, always at no cost to the recipient.

We need, and we welcome, your help and support to do this important work.  Browse our web site, read our story, and learn how you might decide to become involved. 

Contact us—join our team.  We are a group of individuals, a group of volunteers, many Rotarians and others; our LN-4 mission is powerful.  This project changes lives, and you will be a welcome part of our team.
