Wheelchairs for places without concrete roads

Nippard, CinnamonJanuary 2, 2013

70 million people are in need of a wheelchair, but only 5 to 15 percent of those actually receive one, says the World Health Organization. Even though there are well-meaning organizations who try to help by donating old wheelchairs, it often doesn't help too much because they are deemed inappropriate for rural places.
