Wheels for Africa
In Africa, about 85 million people live with disabilities, and it is estimated that about 35 million people require wheelchairs do not have access to them due to financial barriers because they are the poorest of the poor. Due to lack of mobility, people with disabilities faced exclusion from schools, workplaces and even from their own communities. A gift of a wheelchair brings new life and hope to them. They do not have to crawl anymore and instead give them dignity and opportunities to go to school and work. You can help lift a person with disability out of the dirt by donating a wheelchair, going on our outreaches to Africa, or giving so we can purchase pediatric wheelchairs and ship wheelchair containers.
Fitured videoMichael Panther is the founder of Living With Hope. An organisation dedicated to sharing Hope and Mobility to those with disabilities in Africa. Michael is from the war-torn young nation of South Sudan, Africa. Illness and war experiences left him in a wheelchair. In most parts of Africa, people with disabilities are usually excluded from schools, work opportunities and even the community because they are considered to be of no value in the society. This was now his life… a life with no hope and purpose. But God had a beautiful plan and purpose for Michael.
“It is true that your deepest passion comes from your deepest pain. My deepest pain and suffering has given me the passion to go back to Africa and work with people affected by disability.” – Michael Panther
