Trudeau Youth Foundation
In 2019, he started Trudeau Youth Council Foundation, after her cousin was born without a tibia and a knee cap. As a result, Kateera labored nonstop to find a solution. Getting an artificiallimb was the idea he'd ever done for his cousin, and it was from there that the desire to aid other children, particularly those who couldn't afford one, arose. The Foundation advocates for young amputees and children with limb disorders, as well as to work closely with specialists and the community to ensure that they are self-sufficient. The foundation seeks to accomplish this by providing prosthetic and orthodontic devices to underprivileged youngsters (ages 2 to 18).
