Dignity for the disabled, relief for the carer

If being disabled in the UK is difficult, the problems are multiplied in Africa. For a start, there is still stigma attached to disability, although in parts of Kenya this is starting to change, often as a result of bringing in good theology, each person precious to God no matter what their "status". Imagine others regarding you as "cursed by God" for having a disability, or your father leaving your mother because he regarded you as bringing shame on the family.

For another thing, there is often a heavy burden on a mother or a family where a disabled member needs carrying.

A wheelchair not only gives dignity to the one needing it, but relief to the main carer too.
