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

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. 🇳🇵🤍

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!
