2. OBJECTIVES
To organize Limb transplant & Calliper Camps for the
physically challenged poor persons. This would
improve their quality of life and in some cases, help
them to be gainfully employed and earn their
livelihood in better way
We will work with the Rotary Club of Mirzapur, who
has experience in executing novel and innovative
Rotary projects over the past three decades. The club
has good links with all the clubs in the RI District
3210. Limb transplant/Calliper camps has been successfully organised thrice by the club in 2007-
2008, 2009-2010 & 2013-2014. Due to limited resources, these camps were limited to 100 cases
in each camp.
This project will enable the disabled adults and
children who can be rehabilitated with increased
quality of life. They will be able to increase their
income, capability to look after themselves and their
family better.
We are planning to execute this project in the
following steps:
1. Orientation on Project Objectives to the club
members and key stakeholders 1st Month Advertising and screening camps all over the
district – 1st month
2. Finalize the participating medical team - 1st Month
3. Camp in 2-3 rd week of December
4. Physiotherapy sessions and rehab training- 1 week
5. Follow up after 1 month and six months
Why Mirzapur City?
The Mirzapur city has 1373 on record cases related to physically challenged, but if we consider the
whole district, these numbers may rise to approx. 10,000. Out of this we found more than 55%
were the cases related to loss of limb (FOOT) due to disease & accident or aftermath of POLIO.
The above data is based on records provided by Uttar Pardesh Viklang department for the year
2014-15. These figures may rise to manifold if we add off-record data of physically challenged
person. There are many dependents in our society who are living on the expectations of others
and are unable to use artificial limb/callipers due to
lack of knowledge, resources and to some extent
shame to disgrace. Our motto is to convince all to
take advantage of this project and consider
this as boon to stand equally in the society.
This camp will reduce the disability burden of the
society by reducing or eliminating the handicap of the
selected persons. They can be sent back to society
and not only with higher self-esteem, but also with
greater earning capacity.

3. The affected person will be fitted with callipers and
artificial limbs. This will eliminate the physical
handicap of the affected person. These poor people
are sentenced to live with these disabilities and only
option left for them being to beg at railway stations
and temples. Nut these limbs and calipers will give
them more respectful options of earning their
livelihood.
All the beneficiaries will undergo physiotherapy and
rehab training. This project will initiate local
participants to contribute and local government
resources will also be tapped.
BUDGET
FINANCING
The project is derived from the experience of organising three camps. The success of this camp
and follow up of the beneficiaries, shows a dramatic change in the quality of life. This project
become part of the government initiative for reducing disability, but the program is marred by
inaction and limited scope- of providing disability certificate only.
Children, parents and teachers and local village leaders will be directly involved in the
implementation of the project as it is emerged on their felt needs. This local participation will lead
to many further developments, as they will be motivated to come forward with their support for
such projects in future.
