Free Wheelchair Mission
I was watching Fox Business Channel tonight, and they highlighted a mission named "Free Wheelchair Mission" that aims to give mobility to disabled folks in developing countries. According to their website, there are over 100,000,000 disabled people who must crawl along the ground or wait for a loved one to carry them because wheelchairs are not available.
The organization builds wheelchairs out of plastic lawn chairs and bicycle tires, and the total cost of building and distributing each chair is less than $50. The wheelchair design is very creative, I recommend visiting the site to see how these chairs are built.
The group's mission is “Transforming lives by sharing the gift of mobility with the physically disabled poor in developing countries as motivated by Jesus Christ”.
As for financial accountability, they are members of the ECFA (Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability) and GuideStar.org.
