The following wheelchair originally designed at MIT is an incredible improvement for those using the outdated Wheelchairs. In Ghana and elsewhere in Africa the is a constant struggle to provide wheel chairs for those in need.  I encourage you to watch the video and help us provide these wheel chairs in Ghana so that we can put on special events to raise more awareness.



After their initial design work the students at MIT formed GRIT to finish the design and start manufacturing the different wheelchair models.

BYKA is working with GRIT to bring the LFC to Africa and beyond. The "One City One Wheelchair" Campaign is one of our activities that is now receiving support.

Amos Winter and his team at MIT built the Leveraged Freedom Chair, a cheap lever-powered wheelchair whose design and develop put the user first.
