Special Project
Wheelchair Project
In the Philippines, many institutions that care for children with disabilities struggle to secure the specialized wheelchairs these children need to improve their mobility and quality of life. The challenge of providing these essential devices is compounded by limited resources and the high cost of purchasing new wheelchairs.
To address this pressing need, the JVR Foundation partnered with The Volunteers Group to Send Wheelchairs to Overseas Children, a Japanese NGO that refurbishes and donates wheelchairs outgrown by handicapped children in Japan. This collaboration has proven to be a sustainable solution, giving Filipino children with disabilities access to life-changing mobility aids.
The project has garnered support from a range of organizations and institutions, including the Embassy of Japan, Hospicio de San Jose, Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Philippine Cerebral Palsy Inc., Chosen Children, Elsie Gaches, Norfil Foundation, Missionaries of Charity, Create a Job for the Disabled, and Most Holy Trinity Parish, among many others.

Since the project began in 2009, over 1,000 refurbished wheelchairs have been distributed to children across the Philippines. These donations have not only helped improve the mobility of children but have also provided them with the opportunity to engage more fully in daily activities, education, and play, empowering them to live more independent lives.
Through this initiative, the JVR Foundation and its partners have made a lasting impact on the lives of Filipino children, demonstrating how international collaboration and the generosity of others can bring about meaningful change for those in need.
