Self-sufficiency. 

Mobility creates independence. 

Mobility gives children the freedom to navigate life. As children become more independent, caregivers can begin or return to work.

When we met Daria, she could not move or sit without support. Everyday tasks were difficult for Daria and her mother, let alone leaving the house. Now, Daria can sit securely and comfortably, explore her surroundings, and travel to therapy. Her mother shared: “It helps us so much— thank you! We never imagined we would receive something like this.”

Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #3.

Education.

Mobility opens classroom doors. 

Mobility is the difference between getting to school or staying home. In 2025, 70% of our school-aged CoolKids were attending school or had graduated, compared to just 10% of children with disabilities in emerging countries.

When Panha received his first prosthetic limb, his world opened up: “My prosthesis helps me a lot…without my prosthesis, I cannot go to school.” With continued mobility care, Panha completed high school and now runs his own photography and filmmaking company.

Supporting SDG #4.

Employment.

Mobility builds economic opportunity.

Children who receive continued care are estimated to earn $100,000 more over their lifetimes thanks to gainful employment, instead of hazardous work, like begging.

We provided Bhupendra with his first prosthetic limb in 2006 and watched him enroll in school. We supported Bhupendra with access to continued care as he grew, through high school and then university. In 2023, Bhupendra opened his own restaurant. An entrepreneur, Bhupendra is now supporting himself, his family, and his community.

Supporting SDG #8 and #1 

Community.

Mobility creates connection. 

Every child deserves to be included. Mobility empowers children to participate alongside their peers in the moments that shape childhood.

Before receiving her prosthetic limbs, Chantrey watched her peers from the sidelines: “Before I did not have legs…at school, I wanted to play with my classmates... but, I could not.”  Today, Chantrey spends her free time playing badminton with her friends at school, something she once only dreamed of.

Supporting SDG #10.

Confidence.

Mobility lets every kid be a CoolKid OR Mobility brings out the CoolKid in every child.

By providing access to continued, high-quality care, our CoolKids discover what they're capable of, dream bigger, and create brighter futures.

Before receiving her prosthetic limb, Sauri walked to school wearing a shoe tied around her calf in place of her missing foot. Today, she walks confidently beside her classmates, participates in school activities, and hopes to motivate others, sharing with us: "I want to be an inspiration to others... because not everyone is as fortunate as I am."
