What does a smile, or a life-altering change cost?

Summary of the shipping expenses for one container (US $): 

     Container:                $  4,000
     Shipping:                  $  6,400
     Kenya customs:         $  1,500
     Overland transport:    $  4,500
     Uganda customs:        $    500
     Total:                 $ 16,900

 For the 3,000 mobility devices sent by Crutches 4 Africa to Uganda in March of 2013 it was about $6.00 per pair, chair, walker, cane or other device, as is shown in the table above.

 So what was accomplished?

This is what makes it all Worthwhile!!!

Crutches 4 Africa has already collected enough mobility devices to fill the next container, but we lack the funding to ship it. What price can you help us with on the next lives and smiles, and disability workshops we can produce and provide?
