Though Afghanistan has faded from international headlines, compassion hasn’t stopped flowing into the country, and sometimes, it even walks in on a brand-new leg.
At a government hospital in central Kabul, 75 amputees recently stood a little taller, many for the first time in years, thanks to a heartwarming mission from an Indian charity called Bhagwan Mahaveer Viklang Sahayata Samiti (BMVSS).
From June 19th to 24th, BMVSS ran their Jaipur Foot Camp, offering free prosthetic feet and lower limbs, alongside emotional and physical rehabilitation. But this wasn’t just about prosthetics. It was about restoring dignity, independence, and joy.
This marks the 155th time BMVSS has hosted one of these life-changing camps in a faraway land. Their founder and chief patron, D.R. Mehta, told GNN, “Irrespective of where the amputee is from, if the amputees visit us at our Jaipur Foot Center, they would be provided with an artificial limb totally free of charge and without any discrimination on the ground of religion.”
The charity, in collaboration with the Indian consulate in Kabul, also offered training to local hospital staff and donated machines and materials so the support doesn’t end when the camp does.
Beyond Kabul, Jaipur Foot Centers have brought mobility and hope to thousands in Mauritius, Congo, the Philippines, Tanzania, and beyond.
This effort is part of a wider framework of Indian humanitarian support in Afghanistan, which includes food, medicine, scholarships, and more.
Because sometimes, the most powerful step toward healing… is the first one someone helps you take.
