Wheels of hope project

My project was inspired by seeing children using wheelchairs face exclusion, limited access to support, and few opportunities to participate in community activities. We wanted to promote inclusion, improve their well-being, and give them hope through community support.
We identified children using wheelchairs, visited them in their homes, engaged them in recreational and supportive activities, shared health and hygiene information with caregivers, and promoted their inclusion and well-being through community involvement.
The project taught us the importance of inclusion, teamwork, and community involvement. We learned that small acts of support can greatly improve the confidence and well-being of children using wheelchairs, and that engaging caregivers helps create lasting impact.
