Fifteen years ago, the Mahavir Kmina Corporation opened its doors for the first time, with the firm purpose of transforming the lives of all those people who for some reason have lost their lower limbs. Regardless of age, gender, beliefs or place of origin, more than 5,200 beneficiaries have received an opportunity to start over, thanks to all those who believe in a better world and have joined the cause.
In this time, more than manufacturing, adapting and donating lower limb prostheses, we have received great learning, from the life stories of each one of the beneficiaries and those who have visited the Corporation, leaving their mark and unique experiences, being a reflection of resilience, strength and overcoming.
The purpose of working for a better future has become a fundamental guide to carry out our day-to-day tasks, always bearing in mind that the opportunities that the beneficiaries of Mahavir Kmina receive are also for their relatives, friends and circles more close, understanding the support and attention they require from them, when they find themselves in a condition that prevents them from carrying out certain daily activities.
People directly benefited:+ 5,200
People indirectly benefited:+ 20,000
Union make force
for a better future
We are doing good!
