Most people who need a wheelchair don’t have one, and those who do often have chairs are of poor quality and do little to contribute to the socioeconomic integration of the wheelchair user. This worse situation is affecting disabled people from receiving an education, marrying, having families, working to support themselves or their families, or otherwise participating in their communities. Imported wheelchairs from abroad are usually not appropriate for conditions in Africa and developing countries in general, as they have been designed for indoor home and institutional use. These wheelchairs are breaking easily and are not easily repaired because spare parts and the equipment necessary to weld alloys are not usually locally available. Appropriate wheechair is a need and not a want!!
