Clubfoot is the most common congenital cause of disability worldwide.
Over two million children live with the extreme consequences of a treatable birth impairment, known as clubfoot (or talipes equinovarus) that causes one or both feet to turn inwards and downwards.
Left untreated, the condition is a root cause of illiteracy, abuse, malnutrition, and poverty in many parts of the world. Up to 200,000 babies are born with it every year, mostly in low- and middle-income countries where fewer than 15% have access to appropriate treatment.
MiracleFeet is bringing the low-cost, nonsurgical standard of care, routinely provided in advanced health systems, to low-income countries. The solution is surprisingly inexpensive and results in full correction of the foot in four to six weeks.
95% of cases can be treated using the Ponseti Method which involves a series of plaster casts followed by a foot-abduction brace worn at night to prevent relapse. We increase access to this treatment through partnerships with local healthcare providers in 38 countries . With MiracleFeet’s support, the care is free or extremely low-cost for the families who receive it.
MiracleFeet envisions a world in which all children born with clubfoot receive treatment, enabling them to live fully productive, active and healthy lives.
MiracleFeet increases access to proper treatment for children born with clubfoot in low- and middle-income countries through partnerships with local healthcare providers.

Chall An was born with clubfoot in the Philippines in 1994, two years before newborn screening existed. Like many people living with untreated clubfoot, Chall avoided going out in public. But as she grew into adulthood, she found the strength to focus on what she could do rather than what she couldn’t. Today, Chall is a small business owner who uses her woodworking and leather products to share a powerful message with the world: “We are more than our disability, and we can do great things.” 💜 Tap the link in our bio to read how Chall's resilience is creating meaning and impact. 🔗

The twins received their first casts before even leaving the hospital. Through months of casting and bracing, Rizwana watched their feet straighten. Years later, when her third daughter was also born with clubfoot, she knew what to do. Today, all three girls are thriving and dreaming big. 💜 Watch how access to clubfoot treatment helped three sisters take their first steps toward a brighter future; link in bio. 🔗

What causes clubfoot? How common is it around the world? And why does access to treatment vary so much depending on where a child is born? In a recent episode of the Talking About Kids podcast, our CEO, Daphne Sorensen, explores these questions and discusses what it will take to close the global gap in access to treatment. She also highlights people like professional golfer @jonrahm, NFL legend @troyaikman, and actor @damonkwayans, who were all born with clubfoot and have gone on to thrive after treatment.

AI won't replace the care that changes a child's life, but it can help millions more access it.

This technology helps us monitor quality, track outcomes, and identify children who may need additional support. Building on that digital foundation, we're now exploring how AI could help us use this information more effectively and ensure more children receive the care they need. See how technology is helping us close the gap ➡️

The MiracleFeet Brace was created to help close that gap. Costing only $20 to produce, it's helping children around the world grow up healthy, active, and free from disability. 💜

In a rural village in West Africa, Betsaleel was born with clubfoot. At first, his mother, Deborah, was told his feet might straighten on their own. With little information and limited access to care, she tried everything—bandages, traditional medicine, and even renting a room near a distant hospital to search for help. Eventually, when Betsaleel was two, Deborah received a call from a hospital in the capital city where MiracleFeet had begun supporting free treatment. She traveled week after week to ensure he received care. Today, Betsaleel is nearly finished with treatment and wears his MiracleFeet brace at night. 💜👣 Watch how access to care transformed Betsaleel's feet and future at the link in our bio. 🔗
