Who we are
A beacon of hope since 2013
The Syrian Foundation for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation (NSPPL) was founded in the wake of the Syrian war by a group of Syrian doctors, with one mission: to restore independence and dignity to people affected by limb loss. Today we are a trusted provider of prosthetic and orthotic services for war-affected communities.
- Internationally certified technicians — devices that meet the highest standards of fit, comfort and function.
- Beyond physical care — vocational training, device maintenance and support for caregivers.
- Partnerships that last — working with local and international NGOs and academic institutions.
