Mobility is a basic human right. It enables access to education, work, healthcare, and community life. Yet, thousands of individuals in India with physical challenges continue to face barriers because they lack the essential aids—such as wheelchairs, tricycles, walkers, or crutches—that would allow them to move independently.
Without mobility support, many are confined to their homes, dependent on caregivers for even the simplest daily activities. Children often drop out of school due to the difficulty of travel, and adults miss out on livelihood opportunities. This not only limits individual potential but also reinforces cycles of poverty and social exclusion.
A wheelchair or a tricycle may seem like a small intervention, but for someone struggling with mobility, it is a gateway to freedom, dignity, and opportunity.
About the Initiative
Vighnaharta Foundation’s campaign, “Wheels of Hope”, is dedicated to improving the quality of life of individuals with physical challenges by providing free mobility aids and fostering a culture of inclusion.
The initiative goes beyond simply handing out devices. It focuses on customized support, awareness, and training, ensuring that each mobility aid truly becomes a tool for empowerment, independence, and dignity.

Why Wheels of Hope Matters
Government programs provide limited coverage, and most families from economically weaker sections cannot afford mobility aids. Wheels of Hope fills this critical gap by ensuring that every individual, regardless of economic background, has the opportunity to move freely and live with dignity.
This is not just a campaign to distribute wheelchairs or tricycles—it is a movement to restore independence, build confidence, and unlock potential.
