VISION 

A world free of untreated clubfoot.
 

MISSION 

To prevent disability, ill health, and poverty in children born with clubfoot by globally implementing comprehensive programs of Ponseti training, ongoing support, and public awareness.
 

CURE 

The Ponseti Method was developed at the University of Iowa by Dr. Ignacio Ponseti, M.D. This method for clubfoot treatment is nearly 100% effective when used properly by a trained health care provider and is considered the "gold standard" treatment for clubfoot.  Most importantly, health care workers in underprivileged areas of the world with limited access to surgical facilities can be trained to use the method, helping hundreds of thousands of children walk...around the world.
