Enabling The Future in East Africa

When a member of the CyberLogik team was visiting a refugee camp in Nigeria for families that had lost their homes to attacks by Boko Haram, he noticed a 12-year-old boy who was missing the fingers of his right hand. This boy had lost his fingers eight years earlier in a kitchen fire and though he was an ideal candidate for a prosthetic, was most likely destined never to get one. Umar Khalifa Yakubu wasn't content to walk away from this child and, after some research on the internet, came across e-NABLE, a community dedicated to providing the files for the creation of prosthetic hands for those in need. The prosthetic was 3D printed for the 12-year-old, no small task in East Africa where parts and technical support are hard to come by and a stable supply of electricity even less likely. Cyberlogik is hoping to address some of these difficulties and make the provision of these 3D printed prosthetics a more widely available option for those in need in East Africa.
