ACCESS TO SERVICES PROJECT

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

According to the WHO World Report on Disability, more than 1 billion people live with a disability and by 2030 this number is expected to increase to 2 billion people who will require assistive technology. 80% of people with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, yet access to technical aids is more difficult there, mainly due to a lack of financial resources.

Indeed, most of those who need devices in Africa do not have the means to benefit from rehabilitation care or to purchase devices.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to reduce inequalities in access to technical aids in Africa by providing rehabilitation centers and professionals with recycled components and medical equipment for the care of the most vulnerable people with disabilities. By achieving this goal, we contribute to the reduction of the disability rate in Africa.

 

DURATION OF THE PROJECT: 2017
