 In
the aftermath of three decades of civil strife
and armed conflict, Guatemalans are involved in
the process of rebuilding society. Presently,
Guatemala continues to be a violent environment
where crime, transit and industrial accidents
are commonplace.
Whirlwind Wheelchair International estimates
that over 55,000 physically disabled persons
need to use wheel chairs in Guatemala.
Of this group, 20,000 are young adults and
children who require a wheelchair for active use
at school, work and for social integration. Due
to poor or non-existent medical care,
rehabilitation programs, therapeutic devices,
housing, education and vocational opportunities,
many disabled persons confront a secluded and
despairing existence. For more information on how you can make a
