Mali
Our Work
MiracleFeet’s work in Mali began in July of 2018 in partnership with Association de Solidarité aux Enfants atteints de Malformation du Pied (ASEMP) Mali to sponsor two clinics in the Bamako region.
Our Partner
MiracleFeet is now partnered with the Malian Association for Physical Rehabilitation (AMARP) and supports the Mali clubfoot program. MiracleFeet provides resources to strengthen treatment programs including Ponseti refresher training, community outreach and parent education resources, and a mobile data collection system (CAST). With this support, the treatment providers are in consistent contact with families, retaining patients, and providing ongoing follow-up. Additionally, the program provides transportation subsidies to families with financial difficulties to ensure they attend scheduled appointments. As a result, the dropout rate is very low and nearly 90% of patients remain in treatment for the duration.
The program has expanded to include three clinics including CRAOF Sikasso, the capital of the Sikasso Region in the South and Mali’s second largest city. MiracleFeet and AMARP plan to scale treatment in Mali to include a total of five clinics in four regions – Bamako, Sikasso, Mopti, and Segou.
The clubfoot program strives to reach families and communities across the country to ensure all children born with clubfoot in Mali have access to safe, affordable, quality treatment.
