WHEELCHAIRS OF HOPE is an initiative to develop, design, manufacture & provide a wheelchair to children in need of mobility.

The wheelchair is specifically designed for children as we wish to empower education through mobility: Mobility from early childhood is a gate to education. It is the basis for self- confidence and independence. By giving access to education we create a new generation with better skills, confidence and hope.

WHEELCHAIRS OF HOPE together with ALYN hospital Israel’s Pediatric and Adolescence Rehabilitation Center, will provide an integral solution of a good quality wheelchair together with the necessary training capabilities to local teams.
