Limb Project – 84 Lives Transformed Since October 2024 : UoG Alumni

Dear Alumni and Friends,

As we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the University of Gondar and the 100th anniversary of Gondar Teaching Hospital, I’m proud to share that from October 2024 to today, we’ve delivered prosthetic limbs to 84 individuals—restoring their mobility and independence.

In Ethiopia, only one professional holds a degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics, while most others have certificate or diploma qualifications. This highlights the urgent need for advanced training—especially in 3D orthosis and upper limb prosthetics—for our technicians to better serve those in need.

This project is made possible by partnerships with:
- The Rotary Foundation
- Rotary Limb UK
- Local and international Rotary Clubs

Success Story: Abera Takele

Age: 37
Occupation: Electrical Installation Technician, Ethiopian Electricity
Diagnosis: Bilateral Below-Knee Amputation caused by an electrical burn accident while working
Type of Prosthesis Provided: Bilateral Limb Below-Knee Prostheses

Thanks to the Limb Project, Abera now walks independently without any support — regaining his mobility and confidence to return to daily life and work.

We need your support!
To meet growing demand, we seek financial help, materials, and specialized training.
