Without proper treatment, many of these children walk only with great difficulty. The impact of this birth defect imposes physical, social and financial burdens that can be devastating - yet are avoidable.
The miraclefeet mission is to improve access to treatment of clubfoot for children in developing countries.

miraclefeet just received the signed final partnership agreement from Hospital da Baleia in Brazil, which now brings our total number of clinics in Brazil to two. Hospital da Baleia is a charitable hospital that assists underserved populations in Belo Horizonte – the largest city in the state of Minas Gerias.
This clinic is now the largest clubfoot clinic in Brazil with four Ponseti doctors on staff who can treat more than 100 children each year. We will provide further training, braces and funding to this clinic to increase capacity and outreach with the ultimate goal of treating an additional 50 to 100 children each year.
We will update you more as information becomes available, but we’re so excited with these new developments!
