Help Maripwarx Restore Dignity and Mobility for Children with Disabilities in Kenya

Many of these children are completely dependent on caregivers and face immense challenges due to immobility. Their parents, often single mothers or guardians without steady income, spend most of their time caregiving—unable to work, earn, or provide additional medical support. In desperate situations, some children are even locked indoors while parents seek daily wages. We believe that no child should suffer in silence or shame simply because of a lack of mobility support.

Our goal is to empower these families by donating wheelchairs and a one-year supply of diapers, enabling parents to move freely with their children, support their development, and regain the ability to work and participate in society.

The Challenges

Despite the growing demand and urgent need, we are constrained by the high cost of specialized wheelchairs and essential care items. Each custom wheelchair must be carefully designed based on the child’s physical condition, and diapers remain a constant need for families already overwhelmed by medical costs.

Without financial support, our reach remains limited, and many children continue to live in isolation, dependent and immobile. The lack of assistive equipment also prevents them from attending special schools or receiving therapy that could greatly improve their independence.

Why It Matters

Mobility is a basic human right—but for many children with disabilities in Kenya, it remains out of reach. Without wheelchairs, these children are confined to one space, unable to attend school, play, or interact with others. The emotional toll on both children and their caregivers is profound.

By providing wheelchairs and diapers, we’re not just giving equipment—we’re giving freedom, dignity, and hope. These tools help children gain a sense of independence and allow parents to better balance caregiving with economic activities. For families who often feel forgotten, this support is life-changing.

Solution

Through this fundraiser, we aim to raise $15,000 to:

• Provide custom-made wheelchairs to children living with cerebral palsy, autism, or other severe physical disabilities.

• Supply one-year diaper packages to support families already burdened by medical costs.

• Empower parents—especially mothers—by giving them the mobility tools needed to seek work, participate in community life, and care for their children with dignity.

• Open pathways to education by helping eligible children attend special schools with proper mobility support.
