Alex Munyambabazi, the founder of Amputee Self Help Network Uganda, an organisation that helps rehabilitate and support people with missing limbs, sustained injuries on both his legs from a landmine blast that occurred during a field operation on June 29, 2005.
At the time, he had been deployed in the army to fight the rebels that had caused havoc in the northern part of Uganda. In order to save his life, his right leg was amputated while the left one was reconstructed during surgery. See more
