Our Mission

Transforming lives with the gift of mobility

For only $150 USD, you can transform another person’s life by granting them one of Ayuba’s wheelchairs. In return, it enables them to go to school, learn a trade, secure a good job, get married, raise a family, and live a life of dignity.

Our Vision

Our Vision

Mobility for All

The fight to eradicate Polio is almost over, but this terrible disease has left millions of Polio survivors in its wake. In Nigeria alone, there are over 100,000 people crawling in the dirt and begging for food just to stay alive. Our vision is that all can have mobility, leading to greater independence, dignity, and inclusion as well as access to education and increased financial stability.

The Difference a Wheelchair Can Make

A wheelchair for polio survivors transforms lives through:
  • Better health:  Allowing people to move off the ground and into a wheelchair, realize improved hygiene, and facilitate access to medical care
  • More opportunity:  The hope of an education, a skilled trade or professional job, marriage & family, and financial stability
  • Greater emotional & social well-being:  allowing for dignity, independence, respect, and inclusion
