Wheelchair improvement for the polio victims in the Tikar People
hitip.org
Although polio has been eradicated from most of the world, the people of Tikar, Cameroon continue to live with the aftermath of this and other disabling illnesses that most of us have forgotten. Many Tikar and Pygmy people are completely paralyzed while others have deformed limbs and other disabling conditions.
HITIP’s Usoko Project provides individuals with disabilities in Cameroon with custom wheelchairs designed to withstand the environmental challenges of rural communities in the equatorial rainforest.
This project would explore the possibility of enhancing these wheelchairs that already exist with a solar array and batteries (Solar bicicle), thus helping on hills and long distance rides. Hopefully they could become an extension of their capabilities, because the wheelchairs is now a means of income when it could provide transportation and parcel services Solar Taxi in India.
