The Mineseeker Foundation with it’s Sole of Africa initiative is focussed on rebuilding people’s lives and communities by providing them with self-empowering and sustainable solutions…and it all starts with the legs…

The Mineseeker Foundation mission is to assist in the international plight to rid the world of land mines. The foundation which has chosen Mozambique (Sole of Africa) as its first project disclosed recently that they are identifying all the land mine victims in Mozambique .

The estimated 19,000 individuals will be eligible to participate in the foundations’ new Victim Assistance program – ‘Africa’s Got Legs‘ in Maputo, according to their press release.

The “Africa’s Got Legs” is a mobile prosthetics clinic which will be able to gain unprecedented access to rural areas and provide prosthetic limbs and basic health services to those affected by war in Mozambique. These are people who are unable to reach the major centers for treatment and the mobile clinic will enable us to provide this facility.

Mineseeker Foundation states the event will start on 18th September. At the event, the foundation will:

• Be presenting the mobile clinic in an actual operating environment where we will assess, manufacture and supply 30 land mine survivors with artificial limbs.
• Introduce the land mine survivors to our team for a skills development program.
• Formally register and enroll them onto the ‘Africa’s Got Legs’ initiative. This initiative tracks and maintains the survivors’ progress on a six monthly basis.

The mobile clinic will be in Maputo for 5 days, which is the duration required to achieve the objectives outlined below.

However, this is only the first phase of the project as we require to purchase and fit our own mobile clinic as the one we are currently using is on a rental basis.

We [Mineseeker Foundation] are looking at businesses to get involved with this exciting project, and company branding will be place predominately on the mobile vehicle. See the mock up below.

About land mines:

There are an estimated 100 million land mines buried beneath the surface of this Earth.

Someone steps on a mine every 19 minutes, usually women and children.

Whole communities live in constant fear and terror.They cannot farm land, get water or even go to work or school safely.
