Wheelchair Distribution Among People with Disabilities of Bagh, AJK

Mobility is the prerequisite for all human autonomy. FORD held a comprehensive wheelchair fitting and distribution ceremony in Bagh, placing active wheelchairs directly in the hands of deserving recipients.

Unlike generic hospital chairs that cause spinal curvature and pressure sores, these specialized active wheelchairs were individualized according to each recipient's hip width, seat depth, and balance profile. Each recipient also received ergonomic high-density foam cushions to safeguard skin integrity.

Long-Term Impact

For many recipients—including children who had been confined to beds for years—receiving an individualized wheelchair was life-altering, allowing them to resume attending school, visiting markets, and engaging with their peers.
