[AMP-L] 3D Printed Designed Prosthetics Afoot in The Gambia

via UNDP The Gambia:

Oftentimes we read or hear about “Leaving No One Behind” but how 
effectively do we ensure that our work truly caters to the most 
vulnerable in our society? Human rights are fundamental rights and 
freedoms that are intrinsic to every person by virtue of their status as 
a human being. In this sense, human rights are ‘inalienable’ because 
they can neither be given to a person, nor can they be taken away from 
them.

The differently abled or people with disabilities make up a large 
proportion of the most vulnerable in our society. In 2021, UNDP The 
Gambia Accelerator Lab sought to challenge ourselves and our Country 
Office on how we engage with this community. Starting with an innovation 
challenge for People with Disabilities (PwDs), which was won by the only 
3D printing company in the country, Make3D, a 3D printing prosthetics 
design challenge focusing on amputees  become our main flagship 
portfolio event.
