About this organization
Mission
Free Wheelchair Mission is a humanitarian, faith-based, nonprofit organization that provides wheelchairs at no cost to people with disabilities living in developing nations. In collaboration with a network of like-minded partners, Free Wheelchair Mission has provided nearly 1.3 million wheelchairs to those in need in developing nations since 2001, providing renewed dignity, independence, and hope through the gift of mobility. Our mission is to provide the transforming gift of mobility to people with disabilities living in developing nations as motivated by Jesus Christ. Free Wheelchair Mission believes in a world where everyone who needs a wheelchair has one.
About
Our mission is to transform lives through the gift of mobility as motivated by Jesus Christ. With our donors' support, we sent almost 65,000 wheelchairs during this fiscal year to those with disabilities in developing countries throughout the world. We were excited to deliver our millionth wheelchair and are working toward our second million! In addition to wheelchairs, Free Wheelchair Mission donated almost $2,000,000 of gift-in-kind medical supplies to our distribution partners during the year. These supplies are selected for the purpose of enhancing the utility of our wheelchairs or to support surgery to prevent physical disabilities. We are very grateful for the continued support from our donors that allows us to reach individuals that are waiting for a wheelchair and the transforming mobility it will provide.
