LDS Charities is currently supporting wheelchair provision in approximately 60 low and middle income countries. In most of those countries we work with a local government or non-government organization to support their establishing a wheelchair service in line with WHO guidelines. In some countries, our support is provided through another international NGO such as UCP Wheels for Humanity or Motivation or is done in collaboration with an international NGO. We provide both training and donation of wheelchairs to our local partner organizations. We also provide training and support for repair services. Our long-term goal is to work with each local partner to establish a wheelchair service that is sustainable without our support.
