A Global Effort for African Amputees
Episode Date: January 7, 2025
Tom Williams started STAND (formerly Legs for Africa) after a trip to The Gambia 10 years ago. It was there where he met a gentleman in need of a prosthetic leg due to limb loss from diabetes. Tom sourced one for him, and a decade later his organization has rescued and recycled over 18,000 prosthetic legs for others in need across sub-Saharan Africa. Listen to his remarkable story.
