Wheelchair workshop
The Addis Guzo wheelchair workshop in Addis Ababa is unique in Ethiopia.
Every year we deliver around 600 wheelchairs to people with disabilities.
Through our collection campaigns in Switzerland, we receive a large selection of models and can thus respond to the individual needs of our clients.
Thanks to a comprehensive repair service, we guarantee a long-term use of the delivered mobility aids.
