The Global Need For Mobility
Meeting a worldwide need for children with Disabilities to become mobile, remain healthy and be included
It is estimated that about 1% of the total population or 10% of the disabled population need wheelchairs, i.e. about 65 million people worldwide.
About 20 million of those requiring a wheelchair for mobility do not have access to them.
Out of which, 7 million are CHILDREN around the world. Most of them will not attend schools or have access to formal education
– World Health Organization 2008
We believe every child should have equal access to education, healthcare, and a decent life
That’s why our wheelchair is specifically designed for children – to ensure girls and boys complete their education and build the skills they need to move out of poverty.
