Clubfoot is a condition that many people ignore

STEPS Botswana will this coming weekend commemorate the World Clubfoot Day. The day is celebrated annually on June 3. The day focuses on raising awareness and support for children born with this relatively common but treatable condition.

The date was chosen to commemorate the birth date of Dr Ignacio Ponseti (1914 -2009), the developer of the Ponseti method of clubfoot treatment.

STEPS Botswana is a non-profit organisation focusing on improving the lives of children born with clubfoot in Botswana. Approximately 90 children are born annually with clubfoot.
