MiracleFeet is leading the way to address one of the largest causes of physical disability in the world. Along with discrimination, children living with disabilities often face neglect, poverty, and abuse. We are building a global movement to ensure every child born with clubfoot has access to life-changing treatment.

Clubfoot knows no boundaries—more than 5 million children live with the pain and stigma of untreated clubfoot globally. The passionate team at MiracleFeet brings high-quality, low-cost solutions to communities in 30+ countries where the need is most urgent.

Treatment of clubfoot achieves much more than improved mobility; it creates a bridge to vital healthcare access and a lifetime of dignity and economic productivity for children and their families.

Our proven, scalable model is supported by a suite of custom measurement and evaluation tools developed with our partners. To date, MiracleFeet has delivered quality clubfoot treatment to more than 87,000 children in 353 clinics in 34 countries across Africa, Latin America and Asia.
