India

MiracleFeet provided strategic and financial support to local partners from 2011 through 2021. Through these partnerships, we helped over 17,000 children enroll in treatment in India. While we are no longer actively funding any partners or programs in India, we remain very interested in this work and are open to supporting local clubfoot initiatives in India, especially in the form of providing affordable braces, training in the Ponseti method, and other technical assistance.

MiracleFeet started working in India in 2012 through a partnership with Cure India, an Indian-based affiliate of Cure Clubfoot Worldwide (now HopeWalks), fully funding Cure India’s programs in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and the Northeast India. The programs we supported represented approximately half of Cure India’s clubfoot enrollments at the time, and Cure India was able to enroll over 12,300 new children in treatment from 2011–2017 as a result of MiracleFeet’s support. 

MiracleFeet is pleased that the government of India, through its National Health Mission and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is committed to ending clubfoot disability in the country. India has a strong network of orthopedic surgeons; they are supported by the Accredited Social and Health Activist (ASHA) and Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) programs, which aid in early identification, referral and follow-up with children born with clubfoot across the country. 

If you are seeking treatment options or are interested in funding clubfoot care in India, please contact MiracleFeet Foundation for Eliminating Clubfoot or Clubfoot India Initiatives Trust (formerly Cure India).  If you are a clubfoot provider or an organization that needs help increasing access to quality treatment in India, please email us at info@miraclefeet.org.
