Mission

Mobility Worldwide seeks to reflect the love of God by bringing mobility and dignity to those in developing countries who are unable to walk.

Notes from the nonprofit

We have produced and distributed over 100,000 Mobility Carts. We continue our quest for field evaluations (design and health points) from current carts recipients. We have started work on an Africa Initiative to increase carts on that continent thru US shipments and in country production.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To help the impoverished by providing them with wheelchairs, tricycles, and/or carts suitable for the rugged terrain where they live.

Establish production facilities that produce wheelchair carts for the poor while also collecting mobility assistive devices (i.e., crutches and walkers) to distribute to those in need.

We currently have 22 functioning production facilities and are working to establish more with a focus on Africa locations.

We have hand crafted and given away nearly 100,000 Mobility Carts since our founding and currently make about 7,000 annually.
