Social Impact Heroes: How Chesca Colloredo-Mansfeld & MiracleFeet Are Helping Children Born With Clubfoot

Empathize: How does the ability to move impact your daily life? Understand how little, in the scheme of global investments and development spending, it would take to make such a monumental difference in the lives of millions of children who could walk and move independently if they received treatment. Compared to many problems and global issues, treating clubfoot is simple, life-changing, and inexpensive. Few investments have this kind of impact on a child’s future.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Chesca Colloredo-Mansfeld, founder and CEO of MiracleFeet. MiracleFeet increases access to proper treatment for children born with clubfoot in low- and middle-income countries through partnerships with local healthcare providers. The non-profit envisions a world in which all children born with clubfoot receive treatment, enabling them to live fully productive, active and healthy lives.
