Empowering People with a Disability

One billion people globally have a disability, including an increasing number of people living in some of the poorest areas of Bali and East Indonesia. They urgently need a properly fitted wheelchair or mobility aid, or risk being permanently cut-off from critical support services.

In Bali, a person with a disability is seen as cursed due to cultural beliefs and it prevents them from accessing rehabilitation or health care. We are the only NGO traveling to these impoverished communities to provide quality mobility aids and rehabilitation to people with disabilities who desperately need them. Mobility aids restore independence and dignity in their lives.

Globally, people with disabilities experience a higher rate of poverty than those without. We provide prosthetics, orthotics or wheelchairs to people with disabilities so it also gives them a visible presence, enabling them to participate in the workforce or classroom or in the arts, sport, politics or activism.
