International Foundation for the Physically Disabled
The International Foundation for the Physically Disabled is the brainchild of Cobus Venter, a qualified Orthotist and Prosthetist. Growing up in South Africa and spending time in various countries (Tunisia, Senegal, Southern Africa, Europe, Canada and the USA), he has seen the difficulty disabled people can face in getting the medical devices they need in order to lead the lives they wish for, or to provide for their families. Whether it is due to poverty, availability, lack of insurance, war, or a variety of other factors, the outcome is the same: physically disabled people all over the world with limited financial means need assistance.
