✨ Join us on an inspiring journey to Kathmandu, Nepal, where the Victoria Hand Project team helped bring life-changing prosthetic care to amputees in need. 🦾
Thanks to the incredible support of seven Rotary Clubs in Victoria, BC, and the Rotaract Club, we delivered new 3D printers, a 3D scanner, and essential materials to our amazing partners at @limbcarenepal , empowering them to keep transforming lives long after our visit. 💙
Meet two individuals, including Palpasha, who were helped, whose stories remind us why this work matters, every prosthetic arm means independence, dignity, and new possibilities. 🌏
Together, we’re building a world where no one is left behind.
Watch their stories below and donate today 🤝 Thank you @creativezinc for telling our story 💙

Two years ago, in February 2023, the Victoria Hand Project embarked on its initial pilot trip to Ukraine, bringing hope and support to those who need it most. Since then, our Ukrainian partners at @arol.plus and @vin.protez have fit over 120 individuals with prosthetic arms, helping veterans and others affected by the conflict regain confidence and independence. 🦾💛💙
Back in November 2024, Viktoriia from @arol.plus shared this heartfelt message with us, and we are incredibly grateful for her continued dedication and hard work in making this all possible. The need for these life-changing prosthetics continues to grow, and we are deeply thankful for the unwavering support from our donors, supporters, and partners in Ukraine. Together, we’re making a lasting difference in the lives of so many. 🇺🇦🕊️

☀️ Say hello to VHP’s Summer 2026 co-op team! 🦾
Kate joins us this summer as a Biomedical Systems co-op and is a 2nd year Mechanical Engineering student with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering at UBCO. Shanna is also joining our team as a Biomedical Systems co-op and is currently a 4th year Biomedical Engineering student at UVic. We’re also excited to have Khushi, a 3rd year Business student at UVic, continuing with us as our Business Development Intern!
From engineering and design to outreach and impact, we can’t wait to see all the amazing things this team will accomplish over the summer 💙🎉
Years after Mick met Daniel for the first time and made him a 3D-printed arm, Daniel recently received a new prosthetic arm in partnership with @vichandproject
Designed around his current needs, the updated fitting reflects an ongoing commitment to adapting technology alongside the people using it.
The work continues. 🤝

VHP at the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia!!🏛️
Dana Lajeunesse, Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility, gave VHP the great honour of introducing us yesterday at the start of the Oral Question period. He highlighted our work advancing made-in-BC technology with global health impact.
On behalf of VHP, a sincere thank you to @dana4jdfm and his team for the warm welcome and for their ongoing work to create a more accessible BC and world!🤍
Huge congratulations to Lilly and Amy on earning their Iron Rings and completing the Obligation of the Engineer ceremony! 🥳
Kim Arklie, Mechanical Engineer (EIT) at VHP, had the honour of attending the ceremony and presenting Amy with her Iron Ring. It was such a special moment to celebrate this milestone together. As part time Biomedical Systems Design Engineers at VHP, Lilly and Amy’s hard work, kindness, and dedication truly shine. Their rings serve as a lasting symbol of their commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethics and professionalism throughout their engineering careers.
We’re so proud of you both, and this is just the beginning of all the incredible things you’ll accomplish! 💙
We were honoured to welcome Esquimalt High School’s Atom Smashers robotics team to our lab this week 🤖✨
It was amazing to connect with such a passionate and inspiring group of students and share more about the work we’re doing at VHP as they prepare for the World Robotics Championship.
Wishing them the very best of luck, and we’ll be cheering you on! 💪🌍
