World Clubfoot Day on 3 June is a day dedicated to raising awareness about clubfoot, a common congenital foot condition, and to celebrate the progress made in its treatment.

We take this opportunity to acknowledge the great work of Lucile and our clubfoot staff in Madagascar and the team at Diversity Action Network in Somaliland.  Thank you all for your dedication which is making a huge difference in the lives of over 200 children every year.

Special thanks to Perth orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Kate Stannage, who set up the program in 2014 and continues to support and mentor the Madagascar team, ensuring great outcomes are achieved.

We thank and acknowledge the Forrest family for generously supporting our Madagascar Clubfoot Program, and also Base Toliara and BlackEarth Minerals for your ongoing support for all our Madagascar programs.
