Our mission.
The greatest investment you can make is in a child’s mobility.
100+ million children living with disabilities in emerging countries cannot access care, isolating them from school, the joys of childhood, and their community. Each child will need ongoing support as they grow. Our mission is to provide prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and continued care to “CoolKids” from birth through their 25th birthday. Together, we can help CoolKids unlock independence, confidence, access to education—and a future no longer limited by immobility.
Your donation provides high-quality, customized mobility care at the most cost-effective price points. Elevate the standard of orthopedic care provided in emerging countries by making a one-time donation or signing up for our CoolKids Club with a monthly donation.
Meet Seyha.
When Seyha visited our program in Cambodia in 2011, she had been living without a prosthetic limb for five years. Together, we provided Seyha with her first prosthesis and she enrolled in school. After 15 years of consistent care, Seyha is the first in her family to graduate college with a law degree.
Your impact.
Empowering future generations, one CoolKid at a time.
For two decades, we’ve partnered with vetted local orthopedic providers in communities facing the greatest need—due to traffic accidents, congenital disabilities, and generational poverty—ensuring the most vulnerable children receive compassionate, ongoing care. Through data collected in our custom-built ALTSO Management System (AMS) and annual site visits, we make it easy for you to see the life-changing impact of your support.
