About Us
Every Child Deserves The Dignity Of Mobility
For millions of children with disabilities in the world’s poorest communities, a wheelchair is simply out of reach.
Without one, they are often left on the ground or home on beds, vulnerable to disease, excluded from education and community life and denied the right to live with dignity.
At Wheelchairs For Kids Australia (WFKA), we want to change that reality. From our workshop in Perth, hundreds of volunteers have joined together to build fully adjustable, rough-terrain children’s wheelchairs, designed to World Health Organization guidelines. Each one is donated free of charge to a child who needs it most—transforming their health, independence and future.
Our impact is only possible because of the generosity of donors and partners who share our vision; a world where every child who needs a wheelchair can receive one.
Together, we have delivered more than 65,000 life-changing wheelchairs across 80 countries.
