One Hundred Thousand Strong
Our journey started 14 years ago with the dream of transforming millions of lives forever.
From our first partnership in Brazil in 2011 to our network of 46 partners in 37 countries today, we have made tremendous strides. This year was especially remarkable as we reached our 100,000th patient with transformative clubfoot treatment.
Bella Jean (pictured left), MiracleFeet’s 100,000th patient, represents so much. First, her journey shows the ideal path to care: her clubfoot was identified early, she started treatment at three weeks old, and the skilled providers who treated her actively supported her family throughout the process.
Bella’s story also embodies our mission. Treated young, she will never experience the pain and stigma and all that would be off limits to her without the proper use of her feet. She will grow up exploring the mountains behind her house and joining her big sister and cousins as they run, play, and plan adventures.
Bella also represents hope—to her family and to all of us at MiracleFeet. Seeing the progress we’ve made over the past 14 years, and witnessing the transformation of Bella’s feet in just a matter of weeks, propels us to continue delivering on our mission to ensure every child born with clubfoot has access to the care they need and deserve.
One Hundred Thousand Steps Forward
We recently reached a remarkable milestone: bringing transformative clubfoot care to our 100,000th patient. We couldn’t have done it without you, our loyal supporters, who trust us to realize our mission of a world where children born with clubfoot receive treatment and go on to live healthy, productive, independent lives without disability.
This amazing achievement was years in the making, and we now have the technology, tools, systems, and networks in place to scale our work exponentially. For more than a decade we’ve said that untreated clubfoot is a problem we can solve, and Bella, our 100,000th patient, is proof that it’s possible. It’s possible to identify clubfoot early. It’s possible to correct feet quickly. And it’s possible to expand and integrate care into existing health systems to make clubfoot treatment as routine as the polio vaccine.
This year, we achieved new and impressive benchmarks in treatment quality, broke new ground with advocacy and integration efforts, and reached more families with care than ever before.
Our targets are more than just numbers though, they reflect our collective determination to, alongside partners, transform lives and advance our mission. This hasn’t been easy. We’ve had to demonstrate strength in the face of formidable challenges—from pandemics to natural disasters and political unrest all over the world—and we will continue to do so as we navigate delivering care in fragile healthcare systems, entering and operating in countries with political instability,
and ensuring the safety of children and their families in an increasingly inequitable world. We’ve come so far, and reaching this milestone underscores the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to support children, families, communities, and government agencies to create lasting change.
Bella represents a new chapter for MiracleFeet. As we look to the future, we plan to reach 100,000 more children within the next five years. We are setting the stage for systemic change and redefining access to clubfoot care through bold, collaborative initiatives. Every child we treat, every milestone we achieve, and every barrier we overcome is a testament to the transformative potential of our shared efforts. Together, we have the power to rewrite the stories of thousands of children born with clubfoot, offering them a future filled with possibility and hope.
Thank you for supporting MiracleFeet. Here’s to many more unprecedented achievements and lives forever changed!

Liberia
Stephen, 21, received clubfoot treatment from our local partner, FACORC, over ten years ago. He went on to graduate high school and now works as an elementary school teacher and soccer coach in Liberia.
Strength in Numbers and Quality
This year, committed global partners, well-trained practitioners, enhanced early detection and referral pathways, dedicated staff, and generous donors made it possible for MiracleFeet to enroll more children in clubfoot treatment than ever before. The proven MiracleFeet model also allowed us to enhance the level of support and encouragement available to families to ensure treatment completion and lifelong mobility.
Just as importantly, our partners in 37 countries collectively achieved the highest treatment quality results ever for all five key performance indicators (KPIs). In nine of these countries we are now reaching 50% or more of babies born with clubfoot before their first birthday. These achievements are possible thanks to the singular mission of this growing global movement.

One Hundred Thousand Steps to a Brighter Future
Traveling to the small Philippine village of Naga City to meet Bella Jean, MiracleFeet’s 100,000th patient, I felt both excitement and a sense of apprehension. As an organization, we’d eagerly anticipated serving Bella, knowing what this milestone represents in our mission to bring accessible healthcare to children with clubfoot worldwide. Yet personally, I worried about the impact of hosting a media team during an already challenging time. We always ensure families are comfortable with being photographed and interviewed before arriving, but when the cameras roll and questions get personal, gauging genuine comfort can be difficult. However, these worries were immediately put to rest upon meeting Bella and her family.
From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with genuine warmth. After introductions, Bernie, Bella’s father, offered us coconut water. Without waiting for a response, up the tree he shimmied, expertly retrieving coconuts which he chopped open and passed around. As we sipped fresh coconut water, we talked about the extension Bernie was building on their house, Bella’s older sister Bea, and of course, little Bella. As the family relaxed, we explained our hopes for this project— to capture Bella’s treatment journey, from her first appointment to her parents’ dreams for her future. Bernie and Jezel, Bella’s mother, were more than happy to share the experience with us, their resilience as loving parents shining through.
The next morning, we accompanied them on the two-hour journey to the clubfoot clinic in Cebu. Once we arrived, the family was ushered into the
examination room where nurses explained the casting process, emphasizing that Bella would need to return weekly for new casts for her feet to transform.
Back at home, Bea was overjoyed seeing Bella’s tiny casts. As Bernie prepared a simple dinner of noodles and fresh fish, the village quieted, and the importance of the day came into focus. Thanks to the care Bella received, she will grow up running and playing in the lush mountains surrounding her house, walking to school with her peers, and building the life she chooses free from disability.
Bella’s story reflects the incredible ripple effect of MiracleFeet’s work. Each child we treat uplifts an entire family, relieving anxious parents, inspiring siblings, and strengthening communities. The importance of Bella’s story—much more than a number or a photo op—is a living testament to the power of MiracleFeet’s mission, a tangible milestone in our fight for healthcare equity.
Meeting Bella and her family was an incredible honor and an experience that brought our mission into profound clarity: parents around the world all want the same for their children—to see them happy and healthy. MiracleFeet’s work makes that possible.

More Training Leads to Higher Quality Treatment
Frontline health workers are the heroes making life-changing clubfoot treatment possible. They fix little feet and find, refer, and support families throughout the entire treatment process, spanning up to five years.
Clubfoot treatment providers are most frequently doctors, surgeons, and physiotherapists, and the professional support we offer this group is central to our model of expanding sustainable access to treatment. MiracleFeet works with more than 1,300 clubfoot providers in 454 clinics globally, and investing in their skills is a key driver of the significant gains we have made in keeping children in care.
This year MiracleFeet organized more trainings than ever before, facilitating 116 local Ponseti trainings (Basic, Advanced, and Refresher) for 1,306 participants. In addition, MiracleFeet ran several regional events, investing in strengthening Ponseti leadership in 21 countries. Two regional Train-the-Trainer (TTT) courses, in Nigeria and Pakistan, credentialed 27 new trainers to expand programs in nine countries. And to expand clinical mentorship programs, MiracleFeet held regional Supportive Supervision Trainings in the Republic of Congo and Tanzania, equipping 36 experienced clinicians from 12 countries with skills to mentor other providers.
In addition, MiracleFeet’s partners invested in strengthening clubfoot referral pathways by training 5,000 health workers to recognize and refer at 164 early detection and referral events. Another 4,992 health workers completed the online course “Clubfoot Can Be Treated” hosted by MiracleFeet and the World Health Organization (WHO) through the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) Virtual Campus for Public Health.
You don’t need a master’s degree to learn the Ponseti Method. Because our courses are theoretical and practical, trainees practice under supervision before treating a child.”

A Path Forward Advocacy, awareness, and integration
MiracleFeet’s mission to increase access to clubfoot treatment in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is guided by the principles of universal health coverage, equal rights to healthcare, and sustainability. By championing integration of clubfoot care into national health systems and advocating for inclusion of congenital anomalies in global health policy, we are promoting equitable distribution of healthcare resources and services.
This year we saw concrete, country-specific integration and advocacy success in the Philippines, Pakistan, Uganda, Tanzania, and Paraguay. These included programs to detect clubfoot early and refer families to treatment centers, track clubfoot births, establish the Ponseti method as the gold-standard treatment protocol, and prioritize clubfoot by adding foot abduction braces to lists of essential medical devices.
Our advocacy efforts also include presenting at key forums and publishing in influential journals to increase clubfoot awareness.

Supporters of All Ages and Talents
MiracleFeet’s continued capacity to reach more children inspires donors to support our mission in unique and impactful ways. From back-to-back marathons to clubfoot-themed children’s books, peerto-peer fundraisers raised more than $88,000 for MiracleFeet this year.
These creative individuals show how a passion for mobility—and, in many cases, a personal connection to clubfoot—can be channeled into action.
We are so proud and appreciative of the extensive and diverse support we received from many individuals this year. Thanks to those advocating for our mission, we’re one step closer to ensuring no child grows up with untreated clubfoot.
Twins Felix and Rafi celebrated their B’nai Mitzvah with a project to raise money for MiracleFeet. Felix was born with unilateral clubfoot so providing mobility for children was a perfect match. Their family traveled to Guatemala, visiting clinics and speaking with patients to understand how funds would be used. Their efforts raised $53,651 from 75 individuals.

Funding Futures
Our work is only possible thanks to the generous support of many. As in past years, we received most of our funding from individual donors and foundations. Supporters are drawn to our singular mission and the impressive return on philanthropic investment with the average cost to fully treat a child at just $457. Our strong record—communicated through extensive data, comprehensive reporting, and compelling content—allowed us to develop and expand our donor base.
With cash reserves and pledges secured, our $11M budget for the next 12 months is fully covered. Future fundraising efforts will focus on securing the $34M required for exponential patient enrollment growth over the next three years.
