"On the day of the earthquake, the mosque collapsed. I was trying to go in and rescue people, but when the second tremor hit, I got trapped and injured my back. After that, I couldn’t walk anymore. One of my younger sisters died right there at the scene. Now, since I can’t walk, I haven’t been able to work, and I’ve just been stuck at home. But now that I’ve received this wheelchair, I can finally move around the village again. I’m so grateful for this support."
CLASP partnered with UNICEF to support children and families affected by the recent earthquake in Myanmar by providing assistive devices including wheelchairs, walkers, and crutches and physiotherapy sessions through partner agencies, enabling people with disabilities to participate fully in daily life, education, and employment opportunities.
