We toil together to enable those who are hobbled in life by some illness, accident or act of violence. Many are hopeless. The generous donations given to Crutches 4 Africa are the tools we use to help raise the hindered, to lift them from the dust, and help them on their way.

     MOBILITY - HEALTH - DIGNITY - ACCESS

Official International Project of Mountain Foothills Rotary Club Colorado U.S.A.

Crutches 4 Africa, a 501(c)3 organization, was started in 2005 when the founder, David Talbot was working in Africa on a documentary film for another non-profit organization.  While working in Uganda, David saw the great need for mobility devices.

As a polio survivor himself, David is very aware of mobility issues.  With the onset of Post Polio Syndrome, he has had to return to using crutches himself.  Observing people using tree limbs, rough hewn crutches and often, nothing at all, just scooting along on the ground using their hands and arms for locomotion, the idea for Crutches 4 Africa was germinated.

Distribution request from Africa

"We shall be glad to be a part of your distribution network for the crutches since our locality has more than its fair share of disadvantaged persons for whom a pair of crutches does not just improve mobility, but also considerably raises their sense of self worth since they will no longer have to drag themselves on the ground to move from one point to another. Thus their chances of being able to earn a living is enhanced."

Thank you!
