Miracle Feet

Miraclefeet changes children’s lives by improving access to safe, high-quality clubfoot treatment in developing countries. Clubfoot is a leading cause of permanent disability in developing countries and affects one out of every 750 children worldwide, causing one or both feet to point inward and upward and making it difficult and painful to walk. At a cost of about $250 per child, clubfoot can be fully treated and cured. There are over 2,700 children born with clubfoot annually in the Philippines. The goal is to be able to eradicate untreated clubfoot there by treating all new cases by 2020. With BWB’s matching grant of $1K, eight children will receive treatment through this program. The ultimate goal is is for miraclefeet-sponsored clinics such as the one in Davao to be a catalyst that inspires and motivates countries to take responsibility for its own clubfoot management.
