On the Ground in Cameroon

You can help kids run without pain for the first time

Right now, children like Sedrick are hoping for a miracle. Every day they limp on painful, twisted feet. They sit at home while watching other kids run... to school, to church, to play.

Today, you can give children with clubfoot the pain-stopping, foot-straightening care they’ve been waiting for. And thanks to generous companies here in Canada who have donated medical supplies and equipment, your donation will multiply 3X!

Your healing gift today will give kids across Cameroon the miracle of running on straight, strong feet for the very first time.

Barriers Between Kids and Care

Every year, more than 1,000 children in Cameroon are born with clubfoot. The condition is treatable, yet too many children grow up walking on the sides or tops of their feet in daily pain because they can’t access the medical care they need.

The four main barriers that stand between a child and clubfoot care are:

Our Program Plan

Together with our partner Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS) – one of Cameroon’s most trusted healthcare networks – we are working to expand access to clubfoot treatment across the country. Through a sustainable, multi-layered program, our goal is to ensure more children with clubfoot can receive timely, quality care… so they can heal and run pain-free.

Your gift helps fund the following plan:

  • Treatment for 400 children through the Ponseti Method
  • 1,230 foot abduction braces for children undergoing treatment
  • Surgery, rehabilitation, crutches/mobility devices for 90 children with delayed-presenting clubfoot
  • Transportation support for 490 children across 90 health districts
  • Shipping of vital medical supplies to ensure clinics are equipped
  • Parent support groups for 490 caregivers to fight stigma
  • Clubfoot screening for 54,000 children at 90 Maternal Childhood health facilities
  • Clubfoot assessments for 2,400 children at 16 mobile clinics

Total Cost of the Program: $630,987
