80% of children with clubfoot in low- and middle-income countries remain untreated, facing a lifetime of pain, difficulty walking, stigma, and exclusion from educational, social, and economic opportunities.

Clubfoot cannot be prevented, but we know how to treat it. The gold-standard and minimally invasive Ponseti Method offers over 98% success in correcting clubfoot for less than US$500 per child. Today on World Clubfoot Day, we celebrate this proven success and reaffirm our mission to make it accessible to all with the launch of RunFree2030.

An exciting new study from the Kellogg Institute at the University of Notre Dame highlights the essential role of early detection, referral and treatment for clubfoot. After studying Hope Walks’ clubfoot programme in Ethiopia, researchers found that early intervention using the Ponseti method helps children and families thrive—leading to significant improvements in physical mobility, mental health, social inclusion, education and faith. The report comments “early treatment (≤ six months) to be essential for significant impact on later-life outcomes” 📰 Read Hope Walks' summary of the findings and access the report here: https://lnkd.in/eBVEvAZu #Clubfoot #HopeWalks #EarlyDetectionMatters #PonsetiMethod #HopeWalksEthiopia
