Project Overview
In Ukraine, many people have lost limbs in the war and face new challenges in their everyday lives. With our crowdfunding campaign, we want to finance prostheses and orthoses to give them back their independence and mobility. Together with the EnableMe Ukraine Foundation, we identify the most urgent cases and ensure that those affected receive the Explorer or Lynk System - for a better quality of life and self-determination

We are supporting 30 more people with an additional CHF 15,000. At this stage, we are ensuring that the deliveries arrive reliably and that we establish a routine in the process.

Stage 3:
35.000 CHF
0% funded
We will use the next CHF 10,000 to finance the handover of aid to 20 people and strengthen cooperation with local partners. This will ensure that any outstanding issues can be resolved directly.

Finish Stage:
50.000 CHF
0% funded
This is where we lay the foundations for a permanently reliable process. With a sustainable process, we enable up to 100 people to gain access to prostheses and orthoses and create options for long-term help.
Together with the EnableMe Ukraine foundation, we have launched an initiative: the prosthesis sponsorship programme. Our heart beats for helping people in Ukraine who urgently need a prosthetic fitting and helping them with the Explorer or Lynk system. With your support, we can give new perspectives.
Our aim is to give a macu4 product to people in Ukraine who have suffered an injury or loss of limb in their hand and/or arm as a result of the war.
What options do the macu4 products offer?
Lynk System: A modular, passive functional hand orthosis, ideal for sports and everyday activities. It is specially designed for people with limited or no gripping function at the wrist.
Explorer System: A lightweight and modular forearm prosthesis. It supports various activities and adapts flexibly to the user's needs.
As a start-up, our financial resources are limited, but together we can achieve a lot and offer these people a new perspective.

Our project offers you the opportunity to be a part of something meaningful. With your donation, you are helping to give people who have been injured as a result of the war in Ukraine a new perspective. These people face enormous challenges. Everyday activities that used to be taken for granted are now a major hurdle due to the restriction of the gripping function or even the absence of a hand or arm. With your support, you can help them to master everyday tasks and resume certain activities that they were previously unable to do.
Your support is crucial to cover the costs of the prostheses or orthoses and to provide the necessary resources. You can decide for yourself how much you would like to contribute.
With your support, we can give new perspectives together - every donation makes a difference!

It is important for people to maintain their independence and be able to do the things that many of us take for granted. For me, this project for those affected in Ukraine means that we are helping people to master everyday activities again - whether it's helping them to eat, manage the household or move around independently.

It is a matter close to my heart to offer a perspective to people who have lost so much in the war. We have developed our products to help people become more mobile and independent, and now we have the opportunity to use what we do in such an important and urgent context.
