The Addis Guzo Center is located in one of the poorest neighborhoods of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, a metropolis with about five million inhabitants. The central goal of our assistive device supply is to ensure and improve the mobility of people with impairments. We are convinced that the ability to get around is a basic prerequisite for:

° Independence

° Access to education

° Participation in society

° Social and professional integration

Addis Guzo, with its wide range of products and repair service, is one of the most important contact points for people with impairments in Addis Ababa. Every year, we deliver around 700 individually adapted wheelchairs. In addition to our commitment in Addis Ababa, we serve five other cities in the Oromo region. These include Adama, Fij, Bischoftu, Ambo and Sabeta. Seven wheelchair mechanics work in the wheelchair workshop in Addis Ababa. At the beginning of their work at Addis Guzo, they complete a basic training as wheelchair mechanics, a profession unknown in Ethiopia. Through further training by experts from abroad, they are continuously broadening and deepening their expertise and are now in a position to pass on their knowledge and train other colleagues.
