The Wheelchair Foundation has sent a team to distribute wheelchairs in Lagos, Nigeria with the Healthcare Organization for Africa.

The 240 wheelchairs distributed will mean a new life for people that live in a country plagued by disability. For too many years the relief organizations around the world have tried to get long lasting relief to the poor of Nigeria, only to have the relief supplies not reach those most in need.

The Wheelchair Foundation is working with the First Lady of Nigeria to deliver hope, mobility and freedom to children, teens and adults that could go to school, work or worship, if only for the means to get there.

It is our hope that we can make a difference in the lives of people that can now help others as well as themselves to become productive for their families. Very often the only thing standing between a person that is willing to work and a good job, is a wheelchair.
