We work to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities through a three pronged approach: research, wheelchair distribution and rehabilitation. We believe that this model tackles the issue from all angles, allowing us to find both short and long term solutions to finding a cure for paralysis.

Our Mobile Clinic is ready to begin its journey across Kenya šŸš

For many people living with mobility disabilities, travelling long distances is not always possible, especially for families living in remote communities.

The vehicle has been specially modified to enable our team to carry out complex adaptations directly in the field, meaning fewer journeys and shorter waiting times for beneficiaries, while helping us reach even more people in need.
The Mobile Clinic marks an exciting new chapter for our work in Kenya, expanding our reach and helping bring our services directly to communities that need them most.

Weā€™re ready for the road ahead šŸ’™

Every year, our co-founder Carolina and her family visit our Centre in Kenya šŸ’™

During their recent trip in August, they spent time with our team at the Centre, visited local schools, stopped by the Walkabout CP Warriors Daycare Centre and even joined in a game of para volleyball.

These visits are always a special opportunity to reconnect with the people and communities at the heart of our work, and to see our programmes in action across Kenya.

Happy Birthday, Luis! šŸŽ‚

Today, weā€™re celebrating our co-founderā€™s birthday, and the story that started Walkabout more than 15 years ago.

At the age of 18, Luisā€™ life changed forever after a Spinal Cord Injury left him paralysed from the waist down.

Together with his sister Carolina, they founded Walkabout with a simple mission ā€“ to restore mobility to people with disabilities around the world.

This year, in honour of Luisā€™ birthday, weā€™re raising funds to help establish our new Centre in the Dominican Republic šŸ‡©šŸ‡“

Join us in celebrating Luis by supporting our next chapter.

Donate in honour of Luis today, and donā€™t forget to leave him a birthday message šŸ’™

We couldnā€™t be prouder of our little big fundraisers! šŸ’™

Our co-founder recently visited our Kenya Centre with her kids, Andrea and Delfina, who have been busy raising funds and awareness for the work our team does every day.

So far, theyā€™ve raised over Ā£29,000 ($38,000) ā€“ the equivalent of 116 wheelchairs for people in need ā™æļø

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, and of course to Delfina and Andrea for showing us that youā€™re never too young to make a difference.

ā° Thereā€™s still time to support their campaign.

Watch their video and help us change even more lives.

Thereā€™s a lot that goes into turning our vision for Walkabout Foundation RepĆŗblica Dominicana into reality šŸ‡©šŸ‡“

Before we can open the doors of our Centre, thereā€™s still plenty to do ā€“ preparing the space, building our local team and partnerships and getting everything ready to deliver our programmes.

This is what Luisā€™ birthday campaign is about: helping us raise the funds needed to take the next steps and move closer to opening the Centre.

Our vision is beginning to take shape šŸ’™

As we work towards establishing , weā€™re laying the foundations for a Centre that will support communities across the Caribbean and neighbouring Haiti.

Thereā€™s plenty still to do, from equipping the Centre to building a local team and preparing for future distributions, and every stage will require the right resources and support.

This month, weā€™re raising funds in honour of our co-founder Luisā€™ birthday to help us bring the Centre to life.
