The Gift of Mobility

Immobility in children in developing countries without adequate healthcare causes major drain on families and communities and essentially leads to the disownership of family member due to them being a burden.

Our wheelchairs give them back their freedom, they give them back their ability to be a part of the family and assist in day to day life. We give them the gift of being mobile again.
