Hitting a baseball, eating with a fork and a knife, maneuvering a bicycle with both hands…; without two hands, we cannot do these activities, which are so simple for most children. The Helping Hand Project (The HHP), a non-profit association based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in the United States, using the latest technological advances in 3D printing, is committed to ensuring that less and less children have to live with such constraints.
The HHP is a non-profit association founded by students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and specializes in 3D printed prosthetic hands given free to children in need to enable them to have full lives. of potential.
The HHP has 3D printed hands for 20 children and keeps in touch with them so that they can receive new prostheses adapted to their growth.
And through in-person interviews and online groups, The HHP brings support to children and their families that goes beyond the prostheses provided.
