We are developing other items to improve independence; here is our new model of chair for children with cerebral palsy developed by our technicians in Luang Prabang.


What about Wheelchairs?

The wheelchair project is currently run by AAR, but is part of COPE. The wheelchairs and tricycles are manufactured in Vientiane and then distributed via the provincial rehabilitation centres. All materials are bought locally and staff have been trained in assessment and prescription skills. Currently 400 devices a year are produced and distributed throughout Laos.
