Imagine not being able to perform simple daily tasks due to a limb disability. Inali Foundation, a non-profit organisation committed to improving the lives of individuals with limb disabilities, has been working tirelessly since 2018 to provide free prosthetic limbs to those in need.


In 2014, Prashant Gade could never have imagined the profound impact he would have on thousands of lives. As the founder of Inali Foundation, he has dedicated himself to providing prosthetic arms to those who need them the most. Gade's journey began with a personal quest for purpose and a passion for robotics, which eventually led him to create affordable prosthetic limbs. 


A few years ago, when Prashant encountered a seven-year-old girl born without arms, he was deeply moved by her struggles and the societal challenges she faced. Determined to help, he reached out to hospitals for prosthetic arms, only to be astounded by the exorbitant costs involved. With the price of one prosthetic arm amounting to a staggering 12 lakhs INR, it became evident that many individuals were living without a solution due to financial constraints. This realisation became Gade's turning point, propelling him to take action and make a lasting difference.

The Birth of Inali Foundation

Driven by his newfound purpose, Gade made the decision to drop out of his course and pursue his vision of providing affordable prosthetic arms. Despite facing disapproval, he harnessed the power of crowdfunding to secure the necessary funds. Working tirelessly, Gade developed a revolutionary model that could be custom-made and fitted for anyone, regardless of their circumstances. In 2016, Inali Foundation was born, dedicated to distributing free prosthetic arms to those in need.


“Today, Inali Foundation is a beacon of hope for those who cannot afford prosthetics, with a mission to empower individuals and restore their mobility and dignity. We have distributed affordable upper limbs to those who have lost them in an accident or don’t have them by birth. Most of the patients of Inali foundation are people who could not afford any kind of prosthetics or any medical assistance related to disability.  The two variants of upper limbs that Inali foundation has distributed are simple silicon made cosmetic gloves and the Mayo arm. We at Inali Foundation are proud to say that the entire limb is manufactured and assembled in India.”- Prashant Gade.


Inali Foundation's success stories are a testament to the life-changing impact of their work. One poignant moment came when a woman, fitted with a prosthetic arm, wept tears of joy. Finally, she could comb her daughter's hair—a simple act that had been out of reach until then. Such stories reaffirm the profound difference that Inali Foundation is making in the lives of those they touch.

Expanding Their Reach To Uphold Their Mission

Inali Foundation's mission extends beyond its current achievements. They aspire to reach the remotest corners of India, organising free electronic-arm distribution camps every month. While sustaining the foundation by selling prosthetic arms at a nominal cost to those who can afford them, their focus remains on helping individuals who lack the necessary funds or access. To further their impact, Inali Foundation aims to establish a rehabilitation centre that will provide comprehensive support to both humans and animals.


Today, they have distributed over 10,000 prosthetic limbs across India, transforming lives and restoring hope. Now, they are embarking on a new mission to extend our support to paralysed animals and establish a rehabilitation centre for both humans and animals.


“At Inali Foundation, we believe that everyone, regardless of their species, deserves a chance to lead a fulfilling life. This year, we aim to provide over 1,000 prosthetic limbs for humans and 500 wheelchairs for animals. Additionally, we aspire to establish a rehabilitation centre that will serve as a haven for both humans and animals, providing them with the care and support they need to regain their mobility and independence.”- Prashant.

 
To achieve their goals, they need your generous support. The funds raised through this campaign will be allocated as follows:
  • Prosthetic Limbs for Humans: They aim to distribute 1,000 prosthetic limbs to individuals in need. Each prosthetic limb costs INR 15,000, which includes overheads and operating expenses necessary for developing a functional hand. The total cost for prosthetic limbs amounts to INR 15,000,000.00.
  • Wheelchairs for Animals: Animals who have been paralysed due to accidents deserve a chance to experience mobility again. With your help, Prashant aims to provide 500 wheelchairs to these furry friends. The cost of each animal wheelchair is INR 11,000, making a total of INR 5,500,000.00.

Additionally, the rehabilitation centre for both humans and animals would cost around INR 1 crore.


Your support can make a significant impact on the lives of countless individuals and animals. By donating to this campaign, you become an agent of change and a beacon of hope. Together, we can empower lives and inspire a more inclusive society.
