Father creates low cost prosthetic legs for his daughter

Maya, born in 2010, and her father, live at a camp for displaced refugees, in Syria. They both suffer from a conditional called congenital amputation and the cause of this condition is unknown.

Because Mohammed couldn’t afford to get Maya traditional prosthetic, we made a pair using cans filled with cotton and pieces of cloth.

“I mounted some plastic on two tins of sardines with which she can go to school with. My heart suffers when I see her crawling in front of friends, while they play and run. It hard, but those are better than nothing”, the inventor explained.

Mohammed dreams that he and his daughter can one day be able to walk.
