Mission

MIRACLEFEET INCREASES ACCESS TO PROPER TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN BORN WITH CLUBFOOT IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS

Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE PART III, LINE 1.

  • MIRACLEFEET IS COMMITTED TO ELIMINATING UNTREATED CLUBFOOT, A COMMON BIRTH DEFECT THAT CAUSES ONE OR BOTH FEET TO TURN INWARDS AND DOWN, MAKING WALKING PAINFUL AND DIFFICULT IF LEFT UNTREATED. AFFECTING ABOUT 1 IN 800 NEWBORNS WORLDWIDE, CLUBFOOT IS CORRECTIBLE WITH THE PONSETI METHOD, THE LOW-COST, NONSURGICAL STANDARD OF CARE ROUTINELY PROVIDED IN ADVANCED HEALTH SYSTEMS. MIRACLEFEET WORKS WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO INCREASE ACCESS TO TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN BORN WITH CLUBFOOT IN HIGH-NEED COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE WHERE FEWER THAN 1 IN 5 HAVE ACCESS TO TREATMENT. MORE THAN 95% OF CASES CAN BE TREATED AT AN AVERAGE COST OF $500 PER CHILD. (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)MIRACLEFEET EXPANDS ACCESS TO CLUBFOOT TREATMENT BY PARTNERING WITH LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND GOVERNMENTS, PROVIDING THE ORGANIZATIONAL, TECHNICAL, AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES NEEDED TO CREATE AND SUPPORT CLUBFOOT CLINICS IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. MIRACLEFEET FUNDS ARE USED TO PROVIDE TREATMENT SUPPLIES LIKE FOOT ABDUCTION BRACES; HIRE CLINIC ASSISTANTS TO PROVIDE FOLLOW-UP AND PARENT EDUCATION; EXECUTE CLUBFOOT AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS; TRAIN HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE PONSETI METHOD; AND CREATE EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND REFERRAL (EDR) PATHWAYS. ALL MIRACLEFEET PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE CLUBFOOT CARE INTO NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS, ENSURING LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH, PUBLIC HOSPITALS, AND LOCAL PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, MIRACLEFEET AND OUR NETWORK OF 49 PARTNERS ENROLLED 17,846 NEW CHILDREN IN CLUBFOOT TREATMENT, AND OUR REACH GREW TO 37 TOTAL COUNTRIES AND 515 CLINICS. SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2010, OVER 116,000 CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN CARE. WE WORKED ACROSS WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA, EAST AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA, SOUTH ASIA, EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC, AND LATIN AMERICA. TRAINING PROVIDERS IS AT THE HEART OF ENSURING CLUBFOOT CARE IS ACCESSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE. THIS YEAR WE FACILITATED CLINICAL TRAININGS FOR 1,407 PONSETI CLINICIANS AT 139 TRAININGS ACROSS 27 PARTNER COUNTRIES. AN ADDITIONAL 131 CLINICIANS PARTICIPATED IN TRAINING THROUGH ACT ONLINE, OUR ONLINE PLATFORM DESIGNED FOR LEARNING PONSETI SKILLS IN LOW-RESOURCE SETTINGS. FURTHER, WE ORGANIZED THREE REGIONAL SUPPORTIVE SUPERVISION TRAININGS AND ONE TRAIN-THE-TRAINER COURSE TO EQUIP EXPERIENCED CLINICIANS FROM OUR PARTNER COUNTRIES WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY, HANDS-ON PONSETI TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP TO THEIR PEERS. SINCE EARLY TREATMENT IN INFANTS LEADS TO FASTER AND LESS COMPLEX CORRECTION, WE PRIORITIZE EARLY DETECTION AND REFERRAL PATHWAYS AND PROVIDE FUNDING TO PARTNERS TO CONDUCT EDR TRAININGS. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, OUR PARTNERS HELD 212 EDR TRAININGS AND AN ADDITIONAL 34 COMMUNITY AWARENESS SESSIONS. IN ADDITION, THE PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S (PAHO) ONLINE EDR TRAINING, LAUNCHED IN 2023, HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED BY NEARLY 10,000 HEALTH WORKERS, MOSTLY IN LATIN AMERICA. PRIORITIZING CLUBFOOT AWARENESS AMONG HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WHO ROUTINELY SEE NEWBORNS AND BABIES, RATHER THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION, HAS PROVEN HIGHLY EFFECTIVE: A LARGE MAJORITY OF OUR PARTNER COUNTRIES NOW MEET OR EXCEED OUR KPI FOR ENROLLING CHILDREN IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.RECOGNIZING THAT BRACING IS CRITICAL TO LONG-TERM TREATMENT SUCCESS, MIRACLEFEET COLLABORATED WITH STANFORD UNIVERSITY, SUNCAST, AND CLARKS SHOES TO DEVELOP A LOW-COST, HIGH-QUALITY BRACE. LAST YEAR, MIRACLEFEET DISTRIBUTED NEARLY 32,000 PAIRS OF SHOES AND OVER 19,000 BARS (BRACE COMPONENTS) TO 29 COUNTRIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
