Previewing
DAVID SENGEH grew up in Sierra Leone, where many people underwent amputation of their limbs during the country's civil war. Sengeh noticed that a lot of these people weren't wearing their prostheses. When he found out why, Sengeh realized that the conventional way of making artificial body parts wasn't working, and decided to do something about it.
David Sengeh's idea worth spreading is that those who have a disability should have the opportunity to live active, enjoyable lives—beginning with more comfortable prosthetics.
