Mumbai, June 3: The Adani Foundation and Anushkaa Foundation have announced a joint initiative aimed at providing comprehensive treatment support to 10,000 children affected by clubfoot across India.
The programme is designed to ensure early detection, timely medical intervention, and sustained rehabilitation for children born with clubfoot, a congenital condition that, if untreated, can lead to lifelong mobility challenges. The initiative will focus on expanding access to corrective treatment, including the widely used Ponseti method, along with physiotherapy and follow-up care.
Through this collaboration, both foundations aim to strengthen outreach in underserved and rural communities, where access to specialised orthopaedic care is often limited. The programme will also work with hospitals, healthcare professionals, and local health workers to identify affected children at an early stage and ensure proper treatment pathways.
Representatives from both organisations stated that the initiative reflects a shared commitment to improving child health outcomes and enabling children to lead active, independent lives. They emphasised that early intervention can significantly improve recovery rates and prevent long-term disability.
The project is expected to create a large-scale impact by combining medical support, awareness campaigns, and community-level engagement, ultimately helping thousands of children regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
