The Wonders Of Naya Qadam

Here are two short films Courtesy of Naya Qadam Trust - showing the splendour of regaining a healthy body.
The artificial prosthesis utilising the 'Jaipur Foot' - which unlike Western prosthesis enables the patient to squat, walk barefoot and travel through mountainous terrain.


The following fellow was able to work as a postman with his new leg, enabling him to support his family and school his children.


MiST have worked in partnership with Naya Qadam Trust since the Pakistan earthquake in 2005.
The artificial limbs are remarkably cheap to produce and made of materials which are easy to source - even in rural, mountainous Pakistan.
