Welcome to Worldmade.info

Worldmade is a global programme to supply large numbers of appropriate wheelchairs through a network of wheelchair services all over the developing world.

Worldmade wheelchair

The first Worldmade wheelchair is designed for use in rural areas. It has three wheels for stability and a large front wheel for rolling easily over rough ground. It is made of durable materials and has been designed to exceed ISO standards.

Worldmade wheelchairs are mass produced by a factory in eastern China. The parts for the wheelchairs are assembled into boxes, and then the boxes are packed into a shipping container.

Motivation aims to deliver the wheelchairs for US$150 each. This includes the cost of production and shipping. Motivation are committed to only working with manufacturers who observe certain standards of working practises, and the first Worldmade manufacturer has been audited by Kingfisher Asia.
