Freedom and Dignity through customized wheelchairs.
Motivation India is a not-for-profit organisation that works to enhance the quality of life of people with mobility disabilities in India.
According to the Census 2011, 27 million people in India suffer from disabilities, among whom 20% of them have a mobility problem, around 2% of children with disabilities account for the child population in our country. An estimated 75 million people live in need of an appropriate wheelchair but are unable to afford one. One-size-fits-all wheelchairs, widely in use, offer incorrect posture and are difficult to use. There is a lack of awareness of the extent of damage that a poor designed wheelchair can inflict on health even in a 3-month period, leave alone lifetime users.
Without mobility these children are left housebound due to lack of a basic appropriate wheelchair – unable to attend school, unable to socialise and often unable to even attend medical appointments. Their families are tired and exhausted with their mobility problems. Imagine the children are just at home, lying on bed/floor.
Providing an appropriate customised wheelchair as per the WHO standards will not only give them mobility with freedom and independence but empowers them to live their life with the dignity that they deserve. They have the right to quality and appropriate assistive devices. services and we are late in reaching them as service providers.
We are seeking support so that this gap can be filled. Let’s help the children with a life changing need - mobility through customized wheelchairs.
Motivation India is helping children with mobility disability by raising INR 12,50,000/- for 50 children, per year to make the child independent, live life of dignity and contribute to their overall development.
a. This cost will help towards customised wheelchairs with appropriate assessment as per WHO standards.
b. Training of the wheelchair users and caregivers on using the wheelchair, repair and maintenance.
c. Medical and Nutritional support.
Your contribution can help children with mobility, attend school, play with others, participate in their communities. This
