Walkabout Foundation restores
dignity, freedom and independence
by providing wheelchairs and
rehabilitation in the developing
world and funding research to find
a cure for paralysis.

Walkabout Foundation turns 15!

Since our first distribution in Uganda in 2014, we’ve delivered over 3,300 wheelchairs and trikes throughout the country. Click below to watch the film and learn about our work in the region.

Since opening our Wheelchair Assembly & Repair Centre in Nanyuki, Kenya in 2018, we have become the largest wheelchair provider in the country. There, we give employment to 17 locals, 6 of whom are our past beneficiaries. Click below to watch a short film about the centre and meet our local staff!

In 2021, we built the HHA Walkabout Wheelchair Distribution Centre in Haiti together with our partner, Hope Health Action. Our centre provides Haiti with a regular and sustainable supply of wheelchairs, transforming hundreds of lives every year.

Since 2010, we have invested $1.9 million in ground-breaking research that aims to reduce and reverse the effects of Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). We are currently funding Northwestern University’s “Functional Restoration after Spinal Cord Injury by Hebbian and Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation” study at the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab.
