HISTORY
Victoria Hand Project became active in Haiti in April 2016. We partnered with Limbforge (then known as Enable Community Foundation) to provide 3D printed prosthetics in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Limbforge had received a large Google Impact Challenge grant and provided the funds to build the 3D Print Center and pay for training and travel.
Following the earthquake in 2010, Haiti became a high need area for prosthetic care. It was critical to build a system of delivery that was sustainable and efficient. We teamed up with Healing Hands for Haiti (HHH), a non-profit organization committed to providing quality medical and rehabilitative care to adults and children with physical disabilities.
