Project Lolo

History

Project Lolo was founded by Leslie Pitt Schneider. Educated in Law, Nursing, Biology, and Global Health and Human Rights, Leslie's professional experiences have shown her the reality of providing healthcare access to people who need it most. In 2007, after reading a United Nations report describing the too-often unfair conditions facing children with disabilities in developing countries, Leslie felt a compelling need to act. Ten years and a Graduate certificate in Global Health and Human Rights later, she founded Project Lolo with the sole purpose of helping children get access to orthopedic medical care and devices. She believes that Project Lolo's efforts will raise the awareness of children living with differing orthopedic abilities by zealously advocating that their voices be heard.

Specialties

Global, non-profit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, dedicated to helping provide access to orthopedic medical care and orthopedic devices, such as prosthetic limbs, crutches or wheelchairs to children. We believe that all children have equal standing in life in spite of their physicality, ethnicity, or geography; and that no child should ever be denied their right to life, healthcare, education or dignity because of their differing orthopedic abilities. We partner with in-country, established, community-based rehabilitative organizations who serve these children and together, we provide children with the tools they need to lead limitless lives.
