What We Do
Granting Mobility And Freedom To Thousands Of Children In Need
Why Wheelchairs
Aligned with the UN Convention, we believe every child deserves the freedom to participate fully in life. There is a staggering shortage of wheelchairs in less developed countries and our project aims to bring mobility to as many children as we can.
Our Wheelchairs
Built to the WHO guidelines for wheelchair provision for children living in less-resourced countries, our wheelchairs are made for rough terrains, are fully adjustable and able to grow with the child.
Manufacturing Process
Designed with safety, strength and durability in mind, our wheelchairs are skilfully manufactured by a team of passionate and hardworking volunteers at our Wangara workshop and tested inline with ISO standard.
Global Reach
At Wheelchairs For Kids, we’ve given the life-changing gift of mobility to more than 65,000 children in 80 countries, granting some of the world’s most vulnerable children a renewed sense of dignity, hope and independence.
Our Volunteers
We provide meaningful opportunities for hundreds of volunteers—mostly retirees from their mid-50s through to their 80s. These passionate, hardworking volunteers are committed to seeing no children left on the ground.
Distribution Partners
We distribute wheelchairs worldwide through a network of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) that provide ongoing humanitarian support in their local communities. We train and support our partners to ensure that children can be assessed and fitted correctly to their wheelchair.
