Fewer than one in twenty upper limb amputees in the developing world can get a prosthetic hand. Your team builds them.
The kits and the instructions arrive with you. A video from The Hand Project sets out who receives them, then the assembly starts.
It is fiddly, and it is meant to be. People remember it.
- Runs itself. No crew, no venue, no date in our diary.
- Everything arrives in one box, delivered to your door.
- A helpline is open during your event if anything is unclear.
- Eco friendly and sustainably sourced materials.
- You hear back from the recipient of the hand your team built.

Where the donation goes
We are The Hand Project's UK partner. They give prosthetic hands to people in developing countries free of charge, funded entirely by corporate team building events like this one. Every hand your team builds is donated to an upper limb amputee somewhere access to health provision is limited. You hear back from the person who received it, usually nine to twelve months later.
