Welcome to RAG4Clubfoot

We are a global Rotarian Action Group (RAG) comprised of Rotary Districts and Clubs working in collaboration with the Ponseti International Association to eliminate clubfoot disability.

What we do:

We help clubs raise funds to train healthcare professionals in the life-changing Ponseti Method and to purchase braces for those afflicted with clubfoot.

We assist families with logistical support for loved ones with clubfoot, arranging transportation, housing, food and other needs.

We work to reduce the stigma and to raise awareness about clubfoot and its treatments.

Iowa's Gift to the World Campaign

We Need Your Help to Change Lives!

Nearly 200,000 children are born around the world each year with clubfoot, and an estimated 1 million have a neglected clubfoot deformity. The goal of this campaign is to have 4,000 strategically placed Ponseti Method practitioners around the world by 2030. If each of them treats 50 new patients a year, Rotarians will provide care for 200,000 babies with clubfoot annually.

By making a gift today, you can be part of Iowa’s Gift to the World! Your donation will provide vital funds to “train the trainers,” teaching doctors the Ponseti Method for correcting clubfoot, and sending them out to mentor other doctors in their home countries.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

The first $125,000 of the Iowa’s Gift to the World Campaign will be matched by a generous Rotarian from Iowa. That means your donation will be matched dollar for dollar, providing twice as much opportunity to train doctors around the world to treat children afflicted by clubfoot.

The Ponseti Method is a low cost, low-tech, non-surgical, highly effective treatment for correcting clubfoot deformity. For many children, though, getting access to something so basic is incredibly difficult.
