Help Kids in Nepal to Walk on Their Own Two Feet

Amid the majestic mountains of Nepal, children living in poverty often struggle to stand. Every year 782 children in Nepal are born with clubfoot. Since the 2015 earthquake, 3,078 children were born with clubfoot and thousands more injured during the disaster. For the past 11 years, a team of fearless volunteers from the US have traveled to Nepal to bring their gift of healing. In one medical trip they can assess 70 patients, perform 55 surgical procedures on 20 patients. What an impact!
