My name is Margherita, an employee at Legs4Africa , a Bristol based charity that gets people walking again in Africa by sending over prosthetic legs that would otherwise end up in landfill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am working on a project named 'Deliver a Leg' which aims to utilise travellers who are already venturing to countries that we work in. We ask them to use some of their luggage allowance to transport much needed equipment to our partner mobility centers.

I am trying to use as many social platforms as possible so as to find adventurous people who would like to get involved in our project. It's a super easy process and a number of people have already taken bags over to various countries for us - all successful so far!

Here is a page on our website dedicated to the campaign, we've called it Deliver A Leg: https://www.legs4africa.org/deliver-a-leg/

And here's a list of all the destinations we send limbs to:
- Burkino Faso - Kadiogo
- Gambia - Banjul
- Ghana - Nsawam
-Tanzania - Dar es Salaam; Njombe
- Nigeria - Nnewi; Abuja; Rivers State; Ekulu
- Uganda - Kisubi; Kampala
- Rwanda - Kigali
- Senegal - Dakar; Casamance
- Kenya - Kijabe
