International Mission

An estimated 80 million disabled people world-wide need a wheelchair but don’t have access to one (WHO, 2023). And a huge proportion of disabled people are excluded from church, through access issues, lack of support, or fear of disability being a curse.

Across Africa and Asia, we advance disability inclusion through two interconnected programmes, run in partnership with local organisations:
International Roofbreaker events
Wheels for the World missions.

The International Roofbreaker Events equip church leaders, government officials, and community leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to foster inclusive communities through conferences, training, and workshops.

Wheels for the World distributions complements this work by providing free refurbished wheelchairs and mobility aids to disabled people, improving mobility and independence.

By combining direct support with advocacy, sensitisation, empowerment, and strategic partnerships, we help communities build lasting systems of inclusion where disabled people can thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.

Wheels for the World

Through the gift of a wheelchair, Wheels for the World transforms lives, breaks down barriers, and creates opportunities for disabled people and their families to thrive.

By restoring mobility, dignity, and independence, we enable individuals to participate more fully in their communities and reach their God-given potential.
