The Ukraine Abilitation Initiative UAble is a cost-effective humanitarian effort aimed at providing comprehensive care and support to a large population (80,000+) of Ukrainians whose lives have been forever altered by limb loss resulting from war-related injuries. Our mission is to ensure these individuals not only regain their independence but also reintegrate into society.
Through strong international partnerships with prosthetic specialists, manufacturers, physical therapists, and mental health professionals, the initiative delivers specialized training and hands-on care to empower local healthcare professionals and improve access to prosthetic care and rehabilitation services.
By implementing a "train the trainer" program and fostering collaboration between international and local stakeholders, the initiative aims to enhance the quality of life, mobility, and independence of individuals affected by limb loss in Ukraine, ultimately transforming lives and building a more inclusive and supportive society.
Ukraine Abilitation Initiative Large-Scale Efforts are These Main Directions:
Humanitarian Missions – Top U.S. professionals volunteer their expertise to treat patients directly and train local specialists, fostering skill-building and knowledge-sharing.
Prosthetic and Rehabilitation Equipment – We provide essential prosthetic components and rehabilitation tools, empowering Ukrainians with limb loss to regain their independence.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services – Sponsoring wraparound care for individuals with prosthetic limbs, we support their journey toward full physical and mental recovery.
3D-Printed Prosthetics and Orthotics – Funding 3D printing for prosthetic and orthotic components allows us to expand access to personalized, high-quality solutions.
You can consider sponsoring a team to travel to Ukraine, where they will provide treatment and train local specialists in prosthetics and rehabilitation. The cost to sponsor the entire team is around $16,000, or you may choose to sponsor an individual team member for $4,000. Alternatively, you can support wraparound rehabilitation services for Ukrainians with limb amputations at $1,000 per month. Each contribution is vital in helping those affected rebuild their lives.
Additionally, if you have experience in prosthetics, physical or mental health rehabilitation, we invite you to bring your expertise to our medical and prosthetic teams. Your knowledge and skills can make a transformative impact, providing specialized care that helps individuals regain their independence and mobility. Join us in making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
