Thank you Rotary friends

November 23, 2019

Legs4Africa would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved with the following Rotary Clubs. Thank you for your generous support and for helping to set up an invaluable network of Men’s Shed groups across the UK. Because of you all, we are dismantling more prosthetic legs than ever, which in turn means we are getting even more people walking again in Africa.

What’s Next

Following the success of the ‘Break a Leg’ project and a bit of research we have decided to expand our recycling programme. We noticed that most countries worldwide do not have a system in place to ensure that prosthetic legs are not just ending up in landfills.

So, our next goal is to expand the project worldwide, starting with Canada and Australia and then hopefully everywhere in-between.

If you would be interested in learning about these expansion plans we would like to invite you to join the ‘Break a Leg’ mailing list. You will receive 4 emails a year containing details of our latest progress, as well as details of any Rotary connections we’ve built in new territories.

About the author

Name: Tom Williams

My passion? Ensuring no prosthetic leg goes unused. I’m dedicated to collecting, refurbishing, and sending these vital pieces of technology to our partners in Africa, where they make a world of difference. When I’m not immersed in this mission at STAND, I’m often found outdoors, embracing nature. I love long walks in any season, camping under the stars, and enjoying the serenity of the great outdoors. My evenings often involve a unique hobby – maintaining and repairing old pinball machines. This blend of precision and nostalgia keeps me engaged and always learning. This fusion of dedication to my work and my love for nature and tinkering drives me every day, both at STAND and beyond.
