There are currently seven employees working in the wheelchair workshop in Addis Guzo. At the beginning of their assignment, they complete a basic training as wheelchair mechanics, a profession unknown in Ethiopia. At the beginning of each respective provision of aids, there is a professional assessment and determination of any relevant information about the physical condition and the needs of the beneficiary, what the aid is needed for and what the living conditions are like at home.

Our specialized staff modifies and adjusts assistive devices accordingly, makes repairs, and provides training as needed in areas such as transferring in and out of wheelchairs and driver training. Specialists from abroad are continuously trained to deepen and broaden their expertise. Our employees are now able to train other colleagues in these areas.
