Wheelchair is the requisite tool for people with disabilities who cannot walk to help them move easily and independently for work, going to school or training and participating in community activities as well as supporting their family living. Wheelchair provision is done based
on physical assessment. AAR,WCD keeps providing the mean of transportation to the heavily disabled persons to fully participate in social activities. At the time of distributing wheelchairs, we provided the handbooks (WC manuals) to new users in order to enable them know how to;
- Use wheelchairs properly both on the smooth and rough surface
- Transfer WC users from and in wheelchairs
- Do massage to improve their disabilities
- Maintain wheelchairs
- Know each WC parts
- Know location of local health centers
- Contact WC project staff members when they met any problem with their wheelchairs such as; they got damaged or they need to new wheelchairs
