Bringing Mobility: Help Us Provide Wheelchairs to Children With Urgent Needs in South Africa

By World Forgotten Children Foundation on Jun 11, 2025

World Forgotten Children Foundation (WFCF) is proud to announce a vital new initiative in partnership with Wheels Life Changer, a nonprofit organization in South Africa committed to empowering individuals with disabilities. Together, we’ve identified a critical need: access to mobility equipment for children facing urgent physical challenges.

We’ve already raised 50% of the necessary funding—$3,000 toward our $6,000 goal—to provide life-changing wheelchairs to the top 25% of children identified as having the most immediate mobility needs. Now, we’re calling on you—our valued supporters—to help us raise the remaining funds and officially bring this project to life.

Why This Project Matters

For children living with mobility challenges in underserved communities, the absence of proper equipment like wheelchairs can severely limit access to education, healthcare, and social opportunities. Without these tools, many face physical decline, emotional isolation, and a loss of hope.

Founded by disability advocate Ronewa Mudzanani, who was born with cerebral palsy, Wheels Life Changer addresses this crisis head-on. The organization distributes mobility equipment, modifies homes and schools for accessibility, and provides holistic support programs—including school visits with uniforms, hygiene products, and toys—to children and families navigating disability.

This project represents the first phase of a larger, long-term commitment to enhancing mobility, dignity, and opportunity for children who have gone far too long without support.

A Shared Vision for Lasting Change

Since 2003, WFCF has supported projects that promote the health and well-being of underprivileged communities and orphaned children with disabilities. Over time, our mission has evolved to also support the broader environments in which these children live—ensuring our impact is sustainable and far-reaching.

This collaboration with Wheels Life Changer echoes our deepest belief: that no child should be denied the equipment they need to grow, learn, and thrive. By lifting up the most vulnerable, we strengthen entire communities.

Help Us Cross the Finish Line

We're halfway there—but we need your help to go the distance.

Join us in raising the final $3,000 needed to deliver urgently needed wheelchairs to children in South Africa. Your gift today will bring mobility, independence, and hope to those who need it most.

Donate now and be a part of transforming lives—one child, one wheelchair at a time.
