Mobility = Possibility

Today, on International Wheelchair Day, we’re sharing Kalpana’s story.

Kalpana was traveling home in Nepal when a devastating bus accident changed her life forever. Her husband and 16-month-old daughter were killed, and she was left with a spinal cord injury, unable to walk.

After months of treatment and a long hospital stay, Kalpana was determined to rebuild her life. At the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) in Sanga, she received the comprehensive care she needed—physical therapy, medical support, and counseling that helped her regain strength, confidence, and independence.

Just two months after completing rehabilitation, Kalpana returned to SIRC as a peer counselor.

Today, she supports others who are newly injured and grieving—offering understanding, encouragement, and proof that life after spinal cord injury can hold hope and possibility.

Last September, Kalpana received a RoughRider wheelchair through CLASP, designed for the rugged terrain of her community—giving her the freedom to travel, work, and stay connected.

On this International Wheelchair Day, Kalpana’s story is a testament to the power of mobility to restore purpose and community.

"I feel super happy and excited with my new wheelchair. Now I can go everywhere!"

Dani, 11, has a physical condition that causes him to lose muscle mass, which makes standing up and walking increasingly difficult. His mother sought support from Teletón FUNTER El Salvador. There, he received his first wheelchair—designed to keep him active and engaged.

Did you know? Of the more than 75 million people worldwide who need a wheelchair, only 5–15 % have access to one, depending on where they live.

In high-income countries like the US, access to these life-changing products is often expected. Yet, in many low- and middle-income countries, access is out of reach.

Everyone, everywhere deserves the chance to live their fullest life.

In 2025, CLASP delivered more than 17,000 essential assistive products across 18 countries—helping thousands of children and adults gain greater freedom, connection, and opportunity.

None of this would be possible without our partners and customers. Thank you for your trust, collaboration, and shared commitment to expanding access and inclusion.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain dedicated to ensuring people everywhere can live full and meaningful lives.
