200,000 babies are born with clubfoot every year. 80% do not receive treatment, leading to lifelong impairment. Since 2005 our network has treated over 430,000 children with clubfoot in 70 countries. We know how to create a world where all children born with clubfoot can walk, play and run free.

200,000 babies are born with clubfoot every year. 90% of these are born in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC). 80% do not receive proper treatment and face a life of pain, stigma, and missed education and employment opportunities. It costs just $470USD to treat a child with the gold-standard Ponseti method but, due to lack of treatment accessibility, awareness, integration into health systems, and clinical resource, the majority of children are forced to live with untreated clubfoot.
Since 2005 our network of NGOs has treated over 430,000 children worldwide, using a proven model of service delivery. Through the RunFree2030 Accelerator, we will work with our global network our strategy to scale up services globally, focusing on three key objectives:Accessibility, Quality Care, and Integration of clubfoot treatment into healthcare systems. Our unique role in this includes capacity building through clinical training, clinical leadership and advocacy.
