"As an Orthopedist, I was quite impressed
with their fabrication of lower extremity prosthesis, particularly the Jaipur Foot
which serves the Indian population quite well, as many people go bare foot and have
an actual foot that is made of rubberized material and is quite functional. This
below the knee prosthesis costs less than $ 30, as compared to one which I
am sure would cost $ 2,500 in United States."

Jaipur foot’s expense breakdown for the 2002 fiscal year underscores the efficiency
of expense and underpins the Society’s effort to serve as many patients as
possible given its financial resources. Nearly 90% of the company’s expenses
in the 2002 fiscal year was directly related to the cost of producing and fitting
prostheses for the poor. Another 7 percentage of expenses went towards other form
of charitable assistance. Only 4% of its expenditures went towards administrative
and overhead expenses.
