ONE hundred amputees from the south-western Somali region of Baidoa, who are victims of the civil strife there, are to receive artificial limbs from the Rotary Clubs of Nairobi and Bombay and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). Somalia UNDP bureau senior deputy representative Andrea Tamagnini told journalists in Nairobi on Monday that the move was with a view to giving the beneficiaries “a chance to start over again, by literally getting them back on their feet.” The artificial limb project is at present training in Nairobi two Somalis from Baidoa on how to fit and fix the artificial limbs so that they can help the amputees back home. The fitters from Nairobi would also fly to Baidoa to take measurements, manufacture the limbs in Nairobi and later fit them on the amputees. – Pana
