Our Mission in Cameroon

Our Mission

To provide support and access for amputees to obtain quality prosthetics with comprehensive aftercare, and to generate public awareness for these individuals.

Our Vision
Restoring life, hope and independence through the ability to walk again.

The Foundation

Life and Limb Restoration was established in 2023 as a 501 C (3) nonprofit organization to help amputees throughout Cameroon in Central Africa. Life and Limb is committed to ensuring that amputees not only receive a prosthesis but also receive the follow-up care that is essential in the successful outcome of regaining mobility and independence. The loss of a limb can create a severe challenge and prevent an amputee from being able to perform the activities of daily living that many of us take for granted. The physical and psychological independence that a prosthesis can provide not only affects the amputee but can make a world of difference for their family and everyone around them. Having a prosthesis is also important in preventing additional health complications that arise from being sedentary in a wheelchair.

The Need

Loss of limb creates a severe handicap. For many amputees a prosthesis restores full mobility and resumption of normal life activities. In Cameroon, there are many people who remain handicapped because they cannot afford a prosthesis. Prolonged wheelchair confinement dramatically increases respiratory and wound complications, risk of pulmonary embolus, and postoperative pain. Diabetes greatly increases the risk of limb loss.

Bike taxis Accidents

It is estimated that 4 in 10 amputees who came to our clinics was as a result of of Bike taxis accidents. Depending on the level of function the amputee needs to regain, the cost of the prosthetic components in Cameroon can be high as $3,000, and an above knee prosthesis up to $5,000.

Your Support

Your support of Life and Limb Restoration foundation would be greatly appreciated and would be the first step in the journey of an amputee to take back their independence. Please help us give a hand to the amputees of Texas in regaining their quality of life!
