The Crisis

In conflict zones and disaster areas around the world, thousands of amputees—including an unprecedented number of children—struggle to access vital prosthetic care. Traditional methods are slow, expensive, and often inaccessible in challenging environments. Without proper prosthetics, amputees face a future of limited mobility, diminished independence, and reduced quality of life. Any delay reduces the chances of successful rehabilitation, mental health for children having access to an inclusive education and adults a livelihood and to regain a sense of purpose.

Restoring Hope's Innovative Solution

The Restoring Hope initiative is seeking to transform amputee care through a ground-breaking model that combines:

​

• Mobile Amputee Support Units (MASUs): Bringing care directly to patients in conflict zones.

• Fast-Fitting Technology: Reducing fitting time from weeks to just 1.5 hours.

• Digital Integration: Connecting frontline teams with specialists for real-time consultations.

• Co-Creation Innovation: Developing solutions in direct collaboration with users and providers.

• Economic sustainability: Cost-effective care through digital technology, smart monitoring, and simplified supply chains.

• Sustainability focus: Re-mouldable sockets and adaptable components for long-term use in resource-constrained environments.

• Digital Transformation: smart monitors on the prosthetics can be used to collect patient data to improve patient follow up.

• Using Data to understand impact, looking at the outcomes based on measures which the users themselves value (physical and psychological).

Unprecedented Impact

Restoring Hope's model has already been shown to have an impact:
 

• Speed: Patients fitted within hours, providing early access to prosthetics at scale.

• Accessibility: Mobile units reach patients who would otherwise never receive care.

• Affordability: Major cost savings in patient support compared to traditional methods.

• Innovation: They have worked with investors and designer to create the world's first fast-fitting paediatric socket specifically designed for growing children, and involving amputees throughout the design process.

• Sharing knowledge: They have begun to support the training of prosthetists from other countries in the region, recently running a workshop at the AUIS in Iraq

The Path Forward

With your support, Restoring Hope  can expand their model beyond Gaza to conflict zones and under-resourced regions worldwide:
1.      Scale Deployment: Launch new Mobile Amputee Support Units in additional regions
2.      Advance Innovation and Research: Develop next-generation prosthetics for challenging environments
3.      Train Specialists: Build local capacity through our digital training platform
4.      Create Sustainability: Establish regional innovation hubs and support networks
