Join Our Journey: Shifting the System
Would you help if your child was trapped indoors—not by walls, but by a disability and the wrong kind of wheelchair?
In many African communities, children with disabilities are excluded from school, social life, and the future—not because they lack spirit, but because they lack the right support.
Well-meaning but inappropriate donations often make things worse. Imported wheelchairs that aren’t designed for African terrain or tailored to individual needs break down or cause injury. This is not real help. This is systemic failure disguised as charity.
What makes a lasting difference?
When wheelchairs are designed with and for the people who use them. When they’re made locally, with training and support to maintain them. When social enterprises, like Shonaquip and the Uhambo Foundation, create jobs for people with disabilities, and empower families, not sideline them.
This is the change we need.
Real stories show us what’s possible. A child once left behind now thrives at school. A mother can return to work because her child is safely supported. An entire community moves forward.
It’s time to shift the system from top-down charity to bottom-up solutions grounded in dignity and design justice.
