Welcome to Worldmade.info
Motivation are a British based development organisation that work internationally. The scale of the global need for wheelchairs, particularly in low income countries and areas of recent conflict, led Motivation to develop 'Worldmade', our new approach to wheelchair service provision.
Worldmade is a global programme to supply large numbers of appropriate wheelchairs, through a network of wheelchair services all over the developing world. For further information about Motivation please visit: www.motivation.org.uk
Facts about Worldmade:
- Training courses - Local wheelchair service staff receive training in how to assess wheelchair users, prescribe an appropriate wheelchair and assemble the Worldmade wheelchairs.
- Services - Motivation support local organisations to establish wheelchair services. Each wheelchair user is individually assessed for their wheelchair by the local service.
- Products - There will be a range of wheelchairs available from Worldmade services. The first product in this range is a wheelchair for rural environments, this will be followed next year by a wheelchair for more urban areas. Every wheelchair has a pressure care cushion.
