About Us

The Syrian Foundation for Prosthetics and Rehabilitation (NSPPL) is a humanitarian, medical, non-profit organization founded in 2013 in the wake of the Syrian war. Our mission is to restore independence and dignity to people affected by limb loss across northern Syria and Türkiye.

Our history and impact

1. 2013: founded in a time of crisis. We started by delivering life-changing prosthetic limbs to amputees around Aleppo.
2. State-of-the-art centers. Our facilities provide comprehensive patient care, rehabilitation services and community outreach.
3. 2019 and after: strategic expansion. The Al-Bab Center in northern Aleppo, then centers in Afrin, Jinderis, Jarabulus and Tal Abyad, so our services reach even the most remote communities.
4. 2023–2024: remarkable reach. 1,035 prosthetic and orthotic devices for 707 people, in a region where one in three people lives with a war-related physical impairment.

Expert care and training

• Internationally certified technicians Our team is trained by globally recognized experts, so every device meets the highest standards of fit, comfort and function.
• Quality assurance Continuous professional development and peer review make sure every prosthesis and orthosis restores mobility and confidence.
• Physical therapy Tailored, trauma-informed exercise plans help patients regain strength, balance and independence.
• Psychological support Social workers, case managers and psychologists offer counselling and resilience-building workshops.

Beyond physical care
