We Exist Because
Everyone Deserves
to Move Freely

Founded in 2018 in Mumbai, Humable Foundation bridges the gap between world-class prosthetic care and the communities that need it most — with clinical expertise, complete transparency, and relentless compassion.

Our Foundation

Mission, Vision & Our Promise

Three principles guide everything we do — from a single device fitted at a camp to a multi-year CSR partnership.

🎯

Our Mission

To ensure that no specially-abled individual in India is denied access to quality prosthetic, orthotic, and rehabilitative care because of financial constraints — by mobilising donations, clinical expertise, and community action in equal measure.

🌅

Our Vision

An India where every person — regardless of disability, geography, or income — has access to the assistive devices and support systems they need to live with full dignity, independence, and participation in society.

🤝

Our Promise

Every rupee donated to Humable Foundation is tracked, audited, and reported. We will never misrepresent our work, inflate our impact, or spend donor money on anything other than the programmes we describe. Our books are open to every partner.

Our Story

Born from a Clinic,
Driven by a Gap

Humable Foundation was born from a simple observation: the best prosthetic and orthotic care in India was available — but not to everyone. Patients with the greatest need were the least likely to access it.

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Akshay Zodge alongside the clinical team at Pro-Ortho Perfect India, the Foundation was established as a legally registered charitable trust to bridge that gap — using the clinical infrastructure, patient relationships, and technical expertise of a real orthotics practice as its backbone.

Unlike NGOs that operate at a distance from healthcare delivery, Humable Foundation works alongside certified clinicians who understand limb differences, orthotic interventions, and patient rehabilitation from the inside. That combination — genuine clinical credibility plus charitable intent — is what makes our work distinctive and verifiable.

  • 80G & 12A certified — donors receive full tax benefits
  • CSR-1 registered — eligible for corporate CSR contributions
  • FCRA registered — authorised to receive foreign donations

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

These aren't aspirational — they're operational. Every decision we make is tested against these four principles.

🔍

Transparency

Every donation tracked, every rupee reported. Audited financials available to all verified partners and donors on request. No hidden fees, no inflated overheads.

🏥

Clinical Integrity

Our work is grounded in certified clinical practice. We don't distribute devices without professional assessment. Quality of care is non-negotiable — even at zero cost to the beneficiary.

🌍

Inclusion

We serve without discrimination — regardless of religion, caste, gender, or geography. Our beneficiary selection is need-based and documented, open to audit by any regulatory authority.

📈

Impact Over Activity

We measure success in lives changed, not events held. Every camp, every device, every patient assisted is recorded with outcomes — not just output. Real numbers. Real people.

Our Unique Advantage

Why We're Different from Most NGOs

Most charitable organisations helping disabled individuals operate far from clinical reality. We don't.

Certified Clinical Backbone

Our work is backed by Pro-Ortho Perfect India — a multi-location prosthetics and orthotics clinic with certified CPOs. Devices are fitted by professionals, not volunteers. Assessment, prescription, and follow-up happen in real clinical settings.

📋

Every Beneficiary is Verified

We don't distribute devices at random. Every beneficiary is assessed, documented, and their need verified before any fund is allocated. Camp participants are screened. Individual cases are reviewed. This is how we ensure real impact.

🔄

Follow-up, Not Just Handover

A prosthetic device without follow-up is incomplete care. Our connection to an active clinical practice means beneficiaries have a pathway back for adjustments, maintenance, and continued support.

📊

Measurable, Auditable Outcomes

We record names, dates, devices, amounts, and outcomes for every beneficiary. CSR partners and auditors can request this data. We welcome scrutiny — it's how trust is built.
