Program accomplishments

  • As of 12/31/2025,hands were distributed in 100 countries. 87,561 hands distributed since our inception and 4,140 hands distributed in 2025. On site providers (prosthetists, Rotary Clubs, volunteers and partnerships with other nonprofit organizations) remain the primary source of locating recipients and establishing a lasting presence and point of distribution. Life-changing stories and testimonials from recipients continue to come in at nearly an overwhelming rate. While our initial assessments of global need suggested approximately 100,000, we now know through data from the WHO, that about 9.0 million individuals from developing countries are missing an upper limb. In numerous instances, sometimes a single small community will need hundreds of hands to satisfy those individuals they are able to reach. The Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation continues to be run and managed by a small group of dedicated volunteers.
