“This camp is for two months, the needy will arrive at the MOI for registration, so far 300 needy people have been registered. After registration on November 26, 2025 this camp will officially start at the Cultural Centre Masaki, Dar es Salaam”
Dr Lemeri added those who have completely recovered from the injuries of the limb they lost and those whose injuries have not healed are advised to wait for them to recover.
For his part, the Head of the Information and Political Division from the Indian Embassy in Tanzania, Mr Lakshay Anand said experts will use the unique technology of the Jaipur Foot prosthetic leg, where a person with a leg amputated below the knee will be able to walk, run, squat, kneel, dance, climb trees, drive cars and motorcycles.
