Wheelchairs in Rwanda

 

Several years ago Craig Lenz, a Rotarian, became very active distributing wheelchairs. The above video displays the energy Craig brought to the project.



This second video describes what has become of the wheelchairs that were distributed. Rotarians in Rwanda tell us there are now over 5000 wheelchairs in Rwanda that are in need of repair.

Mobility International, wanting to keep the gift that Rotarians have given sustainable, is currently working on a project to set up maintenance stations where folks with wheelchairs can keep their equipment properly maintained or replaced if needed.

Our project is taking much time and money to bring to fruition. The many who are currently immobile in Rwanda are in our hearts and prayers.
