Free Prosthetic Hands for Disabled in AP
The 'Cheyutha' project is giving away free advanced prosthetic hands called LN4 to people who have lost their hands, especially those who are poor.

The program will happen in three places in Andhra Pradesh: Guntur on August 2, Vizianagaram on August 16, and Anantapur on August 30.
