Thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. This July, we will be visiting Kenya to volunteer at the Walkabout Foundation. During our visit, we will be helping to build and distribute wheelchairs to people with mobility disabilities, helping to restore their dignity, freedom and independence. Each person is fitted with a wheelchair that is specifically designed for their body, lifestyle and environment. Each wheelchair costs around £250 to build and distribute, which is why we have set a fundraising target that will allow each of us to donate one wheelchair. We will also be helping to provide care and rehabilitation for children with mobility disabilities, by building Assistive Paper Technology Devices, using local recycled materials. During the final day, we will be visiting Joytown Primary School, a specialist school for children with disabilities, where we will spend time interacting with the children.
