PALS Prosthetic Centre
Help the oppressed children walk again.
Your Zakat can make a real difference to the people of Idlib.
About the center
Our Prosthetic Artificial Limbs Clinic in Syria (P.A.L.S) offers hope for a meaningful life for those who have lost limbs, by returning these individuals to a life of ability, independence and productivity.
One and a half million people in Syria are currently living with permanent impairments, including over 50,000 who have lost limbs due to the war. Sadly, many of the victims are children, with your donations, we are helping many children in the PALS centre every month.
On average, the PALS centre treats around hundreds of patients a month. The prosthetics our centre is providing, are of high-quality that match international standards.
Patients like 5 year old Naseem, who lost her legs during a bombing in her hometown of Aleppo in 2016.
She was only 1 year old when she was injured and lost both her legs when a missile hit her home.
A few years later, our staff found her in a refugee camp and fitted her with two prosthetics.
Creating the perfect fit for prosthetic limbs, is a lengthy process.
It requires numerous appointments to fit, tweak, and test the new limbs over a six-week period.
Training and physiotherapy is difficult at first.
The process is slow and Naseem will need life long support.
But we are here, beside her every step of the way. We need your support so we can continue helping patients like Naseem.
Cost of treatment
Treating each patient costs around £1,000, this includes assessments, fitting and rehabilitation.
