Mobile Impact Who we are and why we're different

• We are an NGO that provides small business
  wheelchairs and wheelchairs for education to
  those in need in developing countries.We work
  with the local workshops for creating
  appropriately designed mobility devices. We
  also work with local NGOs to provide services for
  users who are beginning their own business or
  continuing their education.We provide a hand
  up, not a hand out.  Our aim is to empower people
  through providing them with mobility and a means
  to earn a living, either directly through our
  small business wheelchair schema or indirectly
  through providing mobility to get to school.
