Victoria Hand Project

Victoria Hand Project Victoria Hand Project provides prosthetic arms to amputees in-need, worldwide! Canadian charity.

VHP currently operates in 10 countries – Nepal, Cambodia, Guatemala, Ecuador, Haiti, Egypt, Uganda, and Kenya, as well as in under-served areas of Canada and the U.S. In many of these areas, prosthetic and orthotic care can be difficult for people to access due to the high costs associated, and a lack of infrastructure to manufacture these devices. VHP partners with local healthcare practitioners

and technical experts in these under-served regions, and provides the equipment and training in cutting-edge technologies, including 3D-printing and 3D-scanning. Creating these partnerships helps generate high-tech jobs in some of the world’s poorest areas to manufacture and deliver the Victoria Hand as an affordable option in the communities that need them most. By using 3D-printing, VHP can manufacture highly-functional, custom prosthetic and orthotic devices at a fraction of the cost and in less time when compared to traditional devices. 3D printing allows each prosthetic arm to be custom-made to each user’s unique needs. It also helps increase the clinics capacity, allowing the clinicians to help more people, laying the groundwork for sustainable, on-going care.

Three years ago, our community came together to support prosthetic care in Ukraine. Today, we’re incredibly grateful to see how this initiative has grown.

Together with our donors, volunteers, community partners, and clinics across Ukraine, we’ve helped raise nearly $500,000, supported hundreds of patients, and deliver 12 3D printers with 8 more on the way!

But this impact goes far beyond numbers. Through training, technology, and collaboration, local clinicians are gaining new skills, expanding access to care, and helping more individuals regain independence and embrace new beginnings after limb loss.

To everyone who has supported this initiative over the past three years: thank you. Your generosity continues to create lasting impact and hope for communities across Ukraine.💛💙

Every partnership has a story, and ours in Nepal spans a decade.

Over the past 10 years, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside Limb Care Nepal to expand access to prosthetic care, train local clinicians, and support individuals living with limb loss. Together, we’ve celebrated milestones, overcome challenges, and witnessed the incredible impact that locally delivered care can have on communities. Through our partnership, Limb Care Nepal now helps providing prosthetic care to individuals across rural regions of the country, bringing services closer to those who might otherwise have limited access.

As we look back on moments from 2016 to 2026, we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who has been part of this journey. Here’s to 11 years of partnership, innovation, and impact, and to the many chapters still to come. 🇳🇵🤍

We were honoured to welcome H.E. Chris Cooter, High Commissioner of Canada to India, to Victoria Hand Project during his recent visit to Victoria.

It was great to share more about our initiatives in Nepal and the work we are doing alongside our local partners to improve access to affordable, custom made prosthetic care. Thank you for the meaningful conversation and interest in our mission. 🌍🦾

Recently, the Victoria Hand Project team had the opportunity to engage with Rotary Clubs from across BC and Washington at the Rotary District Conference! 🌎💙

We’re incredibly grateful for Rotary’s continued support, especially in helping expand access to prosthetic care in Nepal. From meaningful conversations to hosting a fun raffle, it was amazing connecting with so many passionate community leaders.

Excited to continue building new connections and meeting even more Rotary Clubs in the coming weeks!
