Our mission

We mobilize funding to deliver prosthetic care to conflict-affected and underserved amputees worldwide — restoring dignity and independence.

Fund the care

We raise and direct funds specifically toward prosthetics — no mission drift, no overhead-heavy field operations.

Partner with the trusted

We channel support to experienced organizations already operating where the need is greatest.

Raise awareness

We keep amputee needs visible — telling the stories that move people to act and give.

How it works

We don't reinvent the work. We fund it.

Open the Gait is a funding intermediary. We raise money around one specific cause and put it directly into the hands of organizations already delivering prosthetic care on the ground — and we show donors exactly where it goes.

01

Raise

We mobilize donors around a single, specific cause: prosthetic care for those who'd otherwise go without.

02

Direct

Funds flow to vetted, experienced partners operating in conflict zones and underserved regions.

03

Restore

Partners fit and deliver prosthetic care — returning mobility, dignity, and independence.

04

Report

We report back transparently, so every donor can see the impact their giving made.

Our story

One prosthetic.
One opportunity.

Open the Gait began when co-founder Sam Lababidy realized the care that restored his independence is something millions of amputees will never be offered. Three founders set out to close that gap.
