The Mobility Project is a non-profit organization that provides customized wheelchairs to people with disabilities in developing countries. Since its founding in 2002, TMP has delivered over 20,000 wheelchairs to people in need, and its work has made a profound impact on the lives of countless individuals and their families.

TMP's wheelchairs are not just ordinary wheelchairs. They are specially designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities in developing countries, who often face unique challenges in accessing healthcare and transportation. TMP's wheelchairs are made from durable materials that can withstand rough terrain, and they are equipped with features that make them easy to use and maneuver, even in challenging environments.

TMP's work goes beyond providing wheelchairs. The organization also provides training to local healthcare providers and community members on how to properly use and maintain wheelchairs. This training ensures that people with disabilities have access to the ongoing support they need to live full and active lives.

In addition to its wheelchair distribution and training programs, TMP also conducts research on disability and mobility in developing countries. This research helps TMP to better understand the needs of people with disabilities and to develop more effective programs to meet those needs.

TMP's work is truly life-changing. For people with disabilities in developing countries, a wheelchair can mean the difference between being confined to the home and being able to participate fully in society. TMP's wheelchairs give people with disabilities the freedom to move around, to attend school, to work, and to live independent lives.

Adventures in Humanitarian Work

Working with The Mobility Project is not just about providing wheelchairs. It's about going on adventures, meeting new people, and making a difference in the world. TMP's staff and volunteers have traveled to over 50 countries to deliver wheelchairs and provide training. They've worked in refugee camps, in remote villages, and in bustling cities. They've seen the best and worst of humanity, and they've learned that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.

Here are a few stories from TMP's staff and volunteers about their adventures in humanitarian work:

I remember one time we were delivering wheelchairs to a refugee camp in Uganda. We had just finished fitting a young girl with a new wheelchair when she looked up at me with tears in her eyes. She said, "Thank you. This is the first time I've been able to stand up in years." It was an amazing feeling to know that we had made such a difference in her life.

- Sarah, TMP volunteer

I've been working with TMP for over 10 years, and I've seen firsthand the impact that our work has on people's lives. I've seen children who were once confined to their homes now able to go to school and play with their friends. I've seen adults who were unable to work now able to support their families. It's a truly amazing thing to be a part of.

- John, TMP staff member

Working with TMP has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I've learned so much about disability and mobility, and I've made lifelong friends. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the world.

- Mary, TMP volunteer
