OUR ROOTS
Who we are?
Hand-in-Hand is a program initiated by (إيدينا مع بعض للتأهيل); a non-profit organization located in Cairo, Egypt.
Egypt is a developing country with a relatively high number of amputees. Due to the high cost of available prosthesis and the prevalence of low income and indigent communities in the country, many people are unable to afford any prosthetic device, which lowers their quality of life.
Our aim is to enhance the lives of the Egyptian amputee population through providing them with 3D printed prosthetic devices for free.
