In 2005, Handicap International, alongside local partners, opened the first rehabilitation centre in Cap Verde. Zuleica (pictured right), a young girl whose leg was amputated when she was only 8-month-old, became the centre's first patient to be fitted with an artificial limb.

Zuleica's enthusiasm was apparent throughout the sessions she had with our orthopaedic technicians. With a bright smile she commented, "After a few walking sessions I will soon be able to go to school on my own, walking just like the other students. Maybe I'll get married one day and I’ll be able to carry my children in my arms!"
