Tricycles and Wheelchairs

The RC of Chennai Kilpauk has recently provided Mobility Aids to the following villages:

15 tricycles to Mepur village, this village is about 30 Kms from Chennai and is off the Chennai - Bangalore Highway

Arambakkam village which is 65 Kms from Chennai on the Nellore Highway
13 Tricycles
4 Wheelchairs

Snegithan- Association for the welfare of the physically handicapped
10 tricycles and 4 wheel chairs

The disabled who benefitted from this project were poorest of the poor and are cmopletely deserving of these aids.

These mobility aids would enhance their lives and empower them by making them mobile and independant as regards their movement. Also increasing their chances of obtaining gainful employment.

This project was made possible with a MG with the RC Strathcona Sunrise with special thanks to TRF and Rtn, Chip Ross who is the primary contact with the RC of Strathcona Sunrise.
