MOTO Workshop

Why Our Assistive Device

At MOTO Workshop, our mission is to create high quality, custom made wheelchairs and therapeutic assistive devices for individuals in need. We work with partners to provide locally crafted wheelchairs or assistive devices using sustainable, locally sourced materials.

Each device is carefully adapted by trained therapists to meet the unique needs of the user, ensuring optimal fit, comfort, and long-lasting durability. By prioritizing customization and quality, we aim to enhance mobility and improve the daily lives of those we serve.

Durability

Our wheelchairs are made in local workshops, by local technicians, using local materials. This means that they can be easily fixed (unlike imported/donated wheelchairs), adjusted and they are made with local terrain in mind. Our wheelchairs are made to last, and to work, even in rural Kilimanjaro.

Independence & Dignity

Wheelchairs provide the opportunity for those who require them to live with more independence and dignity by allowing them to live a life outside of their room/bed and participate in meaningful activities every day alongside others.

Clinical Need

Unlike donated or imported wheelchairs from other countries, our wheelchairs are adapted to the clinical need of the client. This involves an assessment by a trained therapist (factoring in posture, function, cognition, skin integrity and much more!), and a follow-up assessment once the chair has been made and issued.
