Goal
“Join us in making a difference for the brave Ukrainians who have lost their limbs in the devastating russian war on Ukraine. Shockingly, more then 50,000 individuals have experienced the loss of one or more limbs, marking a level of amputations not seen since World War I, according to estimates from The Wall Street Journal”.
Double Your Impact:
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will match every dollar you donate, up to €50,000.
Protez Foundation is a US based 501-(c)-(3) non-profit headquartered in Minnesota providing support to Ukrainians who lost limbs during the war and in need of high-quality prosthetics, rehabilitation, and training. Protez Foundation mission is two-fold: fit injured Ukrainians with cutting-edge prosthetics for free and to empower local prosthetists and rehabilitation specialists with modern methodologies, ensuring sustainable and advanced care within Ukraine.
Our waitlist 1800+ people. With your donations, we can help 10 more people receive prosthetics.
Join Protez Foundation and EBRD in improving lives.
To date we helped 200+ Ukrainians to get modern prosthetics, regain mobility and hope for a better life.
