The Problem

Children with cerebral palsy and other mobility disorders in my country lack affordable mobility devices and frames that can effectively assist in their rehabilitative process. This tends to impede their progress in rehabilitation whilst others are unable to undergo rehabilitation at all.

The Solution

I therefore design and fabricate frames and devices for these children using quality and abundant local materials, making it affordable for the parents to procure. All the devices and frames are custom-made and as such I begin with providing consultancy services where the condition of the child is assessed and measurements are taken to ensure the finished products suit the ward and adequately caters to the rehabilitative process both physically and psychologically.
