Legs4Africa helps thousands of amputees to be able to walk again by repurposing prosthetic legs that would otherwise end up in landfills from the UK, Canada, France and Australia and instead sending to those in need throughout Sub- Saharan Africa.


In the UK, approximately 5,000 prosthetic legs end up in landfills every year. Meanwhile, in Africa, 1.7 million amputees need a limb to help them live independent lives.

collects prosthetic limbs and ships them out to partner mobility centers across Africa, where they build or repair legs for people that otherwise may never walk again. Doing Good by reducing waste, and doing good by providing those in need with the ability to walk again!

A leg collector based in Australia named Callum, organized a mass dismantling day this month. Along with his five friends, they were able to dismantle and prepare 120 legs, shipped in barrels to the mobility center partners in sub-Saharan Africa. Together, they come to a whopping 661.4 pounds, with parts to make a total of 160 legs. They are due to arrive in September.

July Update - More legs for the project

Meet Emily, Aged 13:
Emily lost her leg in a road accident when she was 5 years old. Although she's shy she is a natural leader amongst her friends, “I love to joke around and I teach other children how to dance. I think I’d like to be a nurse in the future.”

Introducing Simon, Aged 40:
Simon lost both his legs due to a preventable illness.“I am a farmer and I love to laugh. I am always now thinking of everything I can do with my new prosthetic legs”

Here’s Danny, Aged  24
Danny was involved in a road traffic accident with his injuries leading to having his right leg being amputated. Through Leg4Africa's partnership with the Orthopedic Training Centre in Ghana, he received a prosthetic leg, “My passion is photography, I hope to be able to make my living by taking pictures of people.” 

Meet some of the recipients

Meet Gabriel from Ghana. Most 12-year-old boys love their food, and his favorite is Fufu - a spongy dough made from boiled and pounded starchy food crops like plantains, cassava, and yams. Besides eating, he enjoys playing with his friends and riding his bicycle. Now that he has his prosthetic leg, he can be fully independent and join his friends at school. When he's older, he would like to become a lawyer or a doctor. 

Our partner Legs4Africa has been busy collecting legs from hospitals across the UK, Canada, France, and Australia to prepare for a big shipment in May to Sub-Saharan Africa. Because of our givers, there will be 1,000 other "Gabriels" who will be able to walk again, giving them a new start in life.
