Wheelchairs for Kids is a Western Australia\u2013 based charity that builds all-terrain wheelchairs for children with limited mobility, distributing them free of charge to communities around the world.<\/p>\n

OCS and Midcity colleagues in Western Australia volunteered with the organisation in Wangara, working on the factory floor alongside experienced teams.<\/p>\n

After training, they joined the production line, measuring, assembling and checking components to the same standards applied across every build. Around 30 wheelchairs are completed each day, each one prepared for delivery to children in countries including Cambodia, Thailand and India.<\/p>\n

The charity has delivered more than 66,000 wheelchairs to over 80 countries, with much of the mahi\/work carried out by volunteers.<\/p>\n
