Foundation for Progress staff recently visited several disabled children in the impoverished region of Imereti. Many disabled kids in this region cannot attend school, or even leave their homes, because they do not own a wheelchair. To make things even more difficult, there is currently nowhere to buy wheelchairs in Georgia. Foundation for Progress is now working with Rotary International to provide durable wheelchairs for the children of Imereti.
Miriam, age 9, is interested in learning, but cannot attend school without a wheelchair.
