In Uganda and Papua New Guinea they are utilizing used AFO's. "We accept its not ideal to recycle AFO's but there is no local skill for making custom splints.   So it's a matter of having enough pre-loved AFO's to find one to fit the required foot. The kids are actually lucky if they get a pair of shoes to help maintain position." The Clubfoot Project in Uganda practices the Ponseti method and is greatful for used denis browne bars and boots.  The orthotics are shipped by the Christian Blind Mission or directly from parents who visit this site.
