The World Health Organization states that over 25 million people around the world are immobile and without money to buy a wheelchair. It is believed that up to 2 ½ % of the population of developing countries fall into this category. To address the actual world need a coordinated global effort is required. Strathcona Sunrise partners with fellow Rotary Clubs and The Wheelchair Foundation to deliver wheelchairs to a children, teens or adults without mobility, freedom and often hope. Since March of 2001 the Foundation has distributed over 500,000 wheelchairs to 80 countries.

Our club champion of the Wheelchair Project is Marcia Allardice. Members or individuals wishing to know more about the Wheelchair Project or who wish to contribute should contact Marcia.
