Causes of #amputations in #Bolivia are various. No major wars in a very long time but many other reasons for amputations. Primarily traffic accident and diabetes related. See all causes in 2017 in our center: bolivianswithoutdisabilities.org/lives-changed/

Our partner, #Bolivians_Disab (Bolivians Without disAbilities), helped us find this low-cost foot, the Shape and Roll, from #northwestern university.

By keeping costs down we can help more #amputees with limited #donations. We make our own #prosthetic foot. Durable, long-lasting, cheap and easy to make. Thank You #Northwestern for the Shape and Roll design.
