Bannan 3Dprinted hands for children
*Turn on CC| subtitles for English.
Bannan is an initiative to develop and provide customized 3D printed prosthetics free of charge for child victims of war.
Did you know that 14 million children are victims of war for the past 5 years? 5 million of these children live in war zones that have little to no humanitarian assistance. 50,000 children are found with dismembered limbs every year, 40,000 of those children are left without any aid whatsoever for many reasons including:-
1- lack of accessibility.
2- unaffordable.
3- lack of medical assistance.
Sadly, 60% of these children are between the ages of 12 to 18 years old, which means they're in the most critical stage of life for development: socially, emotionally, and physically. It's the phase that shapes their future.
How can we solve this issue? How can we reach these children in the war zones? How can we develop prosthetics that can be delivered to them in their areas? How can you bring change in the life of these children?
In the past two years, I have been working on a simple project that creates prosthetic hands using 3D printing technology, with the assistance of some research centers and finding ways to easily assemble and deliver these prostheses. The first stage of the project been accomplished, now, these prosthetic hands miss being on one of these children's hand. Help me, You and I, we can create the change in the lives of these children.
Be a part of the change.
