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.

Only 1 in 10 people who need assistive devices have access to one. It’s rarely just about cost; most of the world lacks trained prosthetists, local manufacturing, and equipped clinics nearby.
At Victoria Hand Project, we close that gap differently. Instead of just sending prosthetic arms, we equip and train local clinics with 3D printers, training, and software so they can build devices themselves, keeping care close to home.
Access to prosthetic care shouldn’t depend on geography. Scan to learn more and get involved 💙

This week, we were proud to attend the 2026 Victoria Forum 🌍
Hosted by the Senate of Canada, UVic, and Royal Roads University, this year’s Forum brought together global leaders, scholars, and community voices under the theme Trust, Justice and Wellbeing. For Victoria Hand Project, conversations like these matter. Building trust and justice into how care reaches people is at the heart of everything we do.
Grateful to be part of this community working toward a more connected, more just world. 🤝

Check out this recent article in Peninsula News / Saanich News highlighting Victoria Hand Project’s on-going work in the Middle East and South Asia.
“Since 2016, the Hand Project has been partnered with Canadian Egyptian Hand Company in Cairo, first fitting Egyptian amputees with prosthetics and eventually expanding to Palestinian refugees who end up in the North African country. Last year, Jordan started allowing some Gazan Palestinians to temporarily travel to the country for needed health care, prompting the Hand Project to explore expansion to Jordan.”
“In Nepal, which was among the first countries the team started working in, Peirone is working to pilot a new distribution system – called the Hub and Spoke Model.”

This birthday, we’re not asking for gifts. We’re asking you to help St. Luke’s better reach their community.🎂
To celebrate our 11th milestone, we’re raising funds for new 3D printers at St. Luke’s Orthopedic and Trauma Hospital in Kenya. Right now, 93 people are waiting for a hand.
Come celebrate with us at our Open House on Wednesday, August 5th, 3:30 to 6:30 PM at UVic’s Engineering Lab Wing. Meet the team, see our work up close, and help us reach 93 more. 🇰🇪🤍
11 years ago, Victoria Hand Project started with one belief: everyone deserves a helping hand.
Today, that belief has restored independence for hundreds of people around the world. 💙
And this year, Our one wish? Helping Kenya. 🇰🇪
Right now, 93 patients in Kenya are waiting for a prosthetic hand. New 3D printers for our partners at St. Luke’s Hospital means faster production and more people helped, sooner. There’s no better way to celebrate 11 years than by making our wish come true.
Here’s to 11 years, and to everyone who’s been part of them. This milestone belongs to you!

6 days until we turn 11, so we’re counting down with 6 milestones that got us here 🦾
From a research lab at the University of Victoria to communities around the world, our journey has been shaped by incredible partners, funders, and supporters who believed in our mission at every stage. Each milestone opened a new door, and each one brought us closer to the people we serve. As we look ahead, we’re excited for the milestones still to come, and we’re endlessly grateful to every supporter who helped us get this far. This journey belongs to all of you.💙
On July 20, Victoria Hand Project turns 11. Until then, we’re counting down, one day at a time, one milestone at a time!
Want to be part of the next milestone? Every gift helps someone regain their independence 🤍
