Did you know, only 10% of disabled people in developing countries that need a wheelchair have access to one?
One of our members recently sent us details of Wheels to Heals, a UK charity which rescues mobility and disability aids from landfill, repairs and recycles them and provides them to people with disabilities across the world. Since their inception, they have funded and rescued over 24,000 items from landfill, delivering these into areas such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Gambia, Iraq, Lebanon, Malawi, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Uganda and Yemen.
If you have a wheelchair, rollator, Zimmer frame, walking sticks, crutches or any other mobility aid which you have been unable to rehome yourself, you can contact Wheels to Heals and arrange for them to pick up the items or arrange delivery to one of their regional hubs.
