Fundación Fuente De Esperanza - FUNDAFE

Throughout the world, and Colombia is no exception, access to prostheses for amputees of lower extremities has become a privilege and not a right, even for people contributing to the health system; due to the high cost of the prosthesis and its maintenance. In addition, clinically avoid prosthetics to people with diabetes, double transfemoral amputees and people with congenital malformations, because the current design of conventional prostheses does not allow it. Fundafe is dedicated to manufacturing high performance, modular prostheses (allow the change of its parts) of lower limbs in a fast, economical way (made with national raw materials or reused materials), made to the user's size and friendly to the environment. ambient. The beneficiaries of these prostheses are low-income people who feel the desire to walk again, but do not have all the resources, are not affiliated with the system of health or, although being able to accede to him, this has denied them the prosthesis, the change of this one or has delayed much in the process to grant it. In addition to the preparation, Fundafe makes maintenance to the prosthesis of its beneficiaries or other prostheses, lengthening their life to these. It also has technical mobility aids and solutions adapted to the living conditions of users. Fundafe knows the importance of people who are around the beneficiaries and because of this, the rehabilitation of the users is based on the community.
