Mission:
Through innovative approaches to local logistics and supply chain distribution, One Step Africa seeks to ensure prosthetic limbs and other physical attributes can be delivered to any community in Eastern Africa, regardless of how far they may be from the nearest large urban centre. Continued work either independantly or alongside other organisations based in the area will strive to deliver the necessary skilled professionals and training needs into these remote communities, to ensure that prosthetic healthcare can be an option for anyone and everyone regardless of where they happen to live.
It is our goal to drive towards reducing the gap between basic prosthetic healthcare in the developed and developing worlds.
