ABOUT FEET FIRST WORLDWIDE
we are A DEDICATED TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE UK AND MALAWI DEDICATED TO MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE -
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
Feet First Worldwide was founded in 2003 and became a registered UK charity in 2004. We work in partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Health and 'Malawi Against Physical Disabilities', operating in Government hospitals throughout the country.
​
We arrange clinics and prioritise the most urgent cases - often children with congenital orthopaedic deformities. The most common of these is Club Foot.
​
The first major project in 2004 provided training for clinical workers dealing with cases of club foot. As a result it is hoped that every Malawian child born with this congenital deformity will have the opportunity to have it corrected during the first year of life.
​
Our goal is to be able to cover central and northern Malawi with 4 clinics. For that we need your help.
