About this organization
Mission
To provide, at no cost, simple but functional prosthetic hands, the LN-4 or LN-4L, to every person who needs and physically qualifies for a prosthetic hand.
About
The Give Hope-Give a Hand Project. By the end of 2018, over 45,000 hands have been distributed in 80 countries. On site providers (prosthetists, Rotary Clubs, volunteers and partnerships with other nonprofit organizations) remain the primary source of locating recipients and establishing a lasting presence and point of distribution. Life-changing stories and testimonials from recipients continue to come in at nearly an overwhelming rate. While our initial assessments of global need suggested approximately 100,000, we can't help but imagine that we still have just begun to meet a need which is likely to be much greater that this estimate. In numerous instances, sometimes a single small community will need hundreds of hands to satisfy those individuals they are able to reach. The Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation continues to be run and managed by a small group of dedicated volunteers.
