At Life and Limb, we believe that mobility is more than just a physical ability—it’s the foundation for independence, dignity, and hope. Since our inception in 2013, we have been dedicated to providing free, high-quality prosthetic limbs to individuals in need, empowering them to reclaim their lives and dreams.
Life and Limb was founded by Sam Johnson, a compassionate visionary who saw the struggles of amputees in rural Kerala firsthand. Moved by the stories of those who lost their limbs due to tragic accidents, illnesses, or congenital conditions, Sam set out on a mission to make prosthetic care accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances.
Initially a small, family-supported initiative aimed at helping ten amputees per year, Life and Limb quickly grew as the demand for affordable prosthetics increased. In 2018, we opened our doors to public donations, enabling us to expand our impact and touch the lives of more individuals across India.
At Life and Limb, our mission is to restore hope, mobility, and independence to individuals who have experienced the life-changing loss of a limb. We are dedicated to empowering lives by providing state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs free of charge to those in need, ensuring that financial challenges do not stand in the way of mobility.
We are committed to fostering a compassionate environment that addresses the physical, emotional, and social struggles faced by individuals with limb loss. Through advocacy and education, we aim to raise awareness about the realities of limb loss and the transformative potential of prosthetic solutions, inspiring communities to support and uplift those in need.
Our vision is to build a world where no one is limited by the loss of a limb—a world where access to prosthetic care is a universal right, not a privilege. We dream of a future where every individual, regardless of socioeconomic background, can live with dignity, confidence, and independence.
By blending cutting-edge technology with compassion, we aspire to become a global leader in transforming lives. Through innovation and collaboration, we aim to create inclusive communities that empower individuals with limb loss, breaking barriers and enabling them to reclaim their potential and pursue their dreams.
Every individual deserves to live with dignity and confidence.
Access to mobility solutions should not depend on financial ability.
We partner with leading prosthetic manufacturers to provide cutting-edge solutions.
We ensure long-term impact through durable prosthetics and follow-up care.
In India, there are thousands of amputees—men, women, and children—who face overwhelming challenges every day. Most come from impoverished families and live in rural areas with little or no access to healthcare. Here’s why Life and Limb is essential:
Lack of accessibility: Quality prosthetics are expensive and out of reach for the majority.
Stigma and Isolation: Amputees often face social ostracism and discrimination.
Emotional and Financial Burden: Families struggle with the costs of treatment while coping with emotional trauma.
We step in to break these barriers, offering not only physical mobility but also emotional and social reintegration for amputees and their families.
Behind every transformed life is a team of passionate professionals, volunteers, and partners. Under Sam Johnson’s leadership, our team continues to grow and innovate, building stronger pathways to a future where mobility is accessible to all.
