It collects used prosthetic legs, which under EU law cannot be re-used in the United Kingdom,[2] and ships them to African countries such as The Gambia, Senegal and Zambia, where they can be modified for, and used by, amputees and land mine victims. It was founded in 2014 by Tom Williams; the registered address is in Arnesby, in Leicestershire.[1][2] In 2014, the charity raised £6000 with a Crowdfunder campaign.[3] In April 2014, Legs4Africa sent a van carrying about 500 used prosthetic legs to The Gambia.[4][2] They were donated to the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital in Banjul, where prostheses were particularly needed for victims of land mines and diabetes.[4] Another 1000 were sent to The Gambia in January 2015[2] and in June 2016 about 500 were shipped to Tanzania.[5][6][7] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/PrintReport.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1158697&ReportType=COLOUR |title=Charity Report |last= |first= |date= |website= |publisher=Charity Commission for England and Wales |archive-url=https://archive.is/20170202114820/http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/PrintReport.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1158697&ReportType=COLOUR |archive-date= 2 February 2017 |dead-url=no |access-date=2 February 2017 |df= }} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/legs4africa-ships-1-000-artificial-limbs-africa/story-25907832-detail/story.html|title=Legs4Africa ships another 1,000 artificial limbs to Africa|last=Mack|first=Tom|date=22 January 2015|newspaper=Leicester Mercury|access-date=17 February 2017|work=|language=en|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/voluntary-sector-network/2014/dec/05/offbeat-charity-crowdfunding-campaigns-top-five|title=From potato salad to prosthetic limbs: five offbeat charity crowdfunding campaigns|last=Marrins|first=Kirsty|date=5 December 2014|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=16 February 2017|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} 4. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-26835200|title=Project collects 500 used prosthetic legs for Gambia|last=|first=|date=1 April 2014|newspaper=BBC News|work=|language=en-GB|via=|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-36047855|title=Charity sends prosthetic legs from Bristol to Africa|last=Miller|first=Tracey|date=15 April 2016|work=|newspaper=BBC News|language=en-GB|via=|accessdate=3 February 2017}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/healthcare-network/2016/sep/14/uk-charities-send-recycled-prosthetics-africa|title='Back on my feet': how artificial limbs can have a second life in Africa|last=Goodchild|first=Sophie|date=14 September 2016|newspaper=The Guardian|access-date=16 February 2017|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/500-prosthetic-legs-counted-street-charity-sends/story-29117477-detail/story.html|title=More than 500 prosthetic legs were counted in the street as charity sends them to Africa|last=Flannagan|first=Emma|date=16 April 2016|newspaper=Bristol Post|access-date=17 February 2017|work=|language=en-UK|via=}}{{dead link|date=May 2017|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} 7 : 2014 establishments in the United Kingdom|Charities based in Bristol|Charities based in Leicestershire|Charities for disabled people based in the United Kingdom|Foreign charities operating in Tanzania|Foreign charities operating in the Gambia|Organizations established in 2014 |
