Mobility opens up new horizons. Every person deserves the chance to live fully, to dream, and to pursue those dreams with independence. Cherishing each life, our partnership with ALTSO helps make this hope a reality for more people every day.
ALTSO is a New York based non-profit organization that works to provide free Prosthetic & Orthopedic care to children whose families cannot afford the treatment. Children are provided free mobility devices till they attain the age of 21. Since 2003, their programs in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have helped numerous children in need and changed their lives for the better. Currently, they have their programs in 10 countries across the world. These countries are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, Somaliland, and Uganda. They provide Prosthetic limbs, Orthotic braces, and Wheelchairs. Every offering is of extremely high quality so much so that the wheelchairs being provided are certified by the World Health Organization. These mobility devices are also specially designed to suit each individual’s needs.
At GetBak, we are honored to serve as ALTSO’s exclusive partner in India since May 2019. ALTSO entrusts its partners only after careful evaluation to ensure the highest standards of care for children. We take pride in meeting these standards- delivering quality with reliability and never compromising on excellence. Together, we do more than provide free mobility devices- we open doors to education, future employment, and independence for every child. Our work is about unlocking potential and making lasting, meaningful change for each life we touch.
CoolKid Kushi Dancing with Confidence
As our CoolKids grow they require, on average, one to three adjustments per year to their mobility devices. One of our first CoolKids, Bhupenda, received his first prosthetic limb in 2006 at the age of eight. He is now 21 and has received more than 25 prostheses from our programs.
When a CoolKid like Bhupendra, who was not able to walk to school and receive an education, grows up to graduate from university with a degree in chemistry and hope for the future – that’s GrowingUpALTSO
As a young boy CoolKid Sachin dreamt of joining the Indian Army. He studied, preparing physically and mentally, counting down the days until he could apply. Sadly, Sachin’s dreams were shattered when he lost both of his legs in a railroad accident.
21 year old Sachin chose to not simply adapt to his circumstances, but to push the bounds of his physical limitations. Sachin joined the gym where he discovered a new found strength within himself.
Last August Sachin was fit with his first Joshi prosthetic legs at our program with GetBak. After re-learning to walk Sachin realized a new dream: to represent India at the Paralympic Games.
