To date, MiracleFeet has delivered quality clubfoot treatment to more than 127,000 children in 555 clinics in 38 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa. We invite you to learn more about our unique model and our impact here . Still, today fewer than one in five children has access to treatment.
