Providing Wheelchairs

When a donation is received, Muhammad makes the long journey to the city of Rawalpindi to purchase new wheelchairs. He brings them back to deliver to people in need. The wheelchairs in these photos are the only type currently available.

 These wheelchair cost $60 apiece. They come new in a box. This style of wheelchair is not appropriate for the rough terrain of Pakistan, but they are all that are available.

When possible, Muhammad also delivers medical supplies to people in his local area. Typically, medical supplies are not locally available. Therefore, Muhammad must travel to the nearest city to purchase the items.

 

The following videos shows a recent wheelchair delivery by Muhammad.

Making Wheelchairs

Due to the extreme shortage of appropriate wheelchairs in Pakistan, Muhammad has begun making them for adults and toddlers. His current designs are made from wood. Future wheelchairs will be made from metal

The Trike III Wheelchair

The Trike III is the 3rd version of Muhammad’s three wheel designs. It features 26″ bicycle wheels and tires along with  a 5″ sold plate caster front wheel. Larger front caster wheels can easily be used with this design.

Toddler Wheelchairs

Wheelchairs for children are practically not available in Pakistan. When a child has a wheelchair, they are forced to use an over sized hospital style wheelchair. Muhammad is making custom size wheelchair for toddlers and children.
