The Mobility for Heroes project was a collaborative
effort between concerned THCO and concerned Tigrian diaspora to provide
wheelchairs and mobility devices for war veterans in Tigray. This project aimed
to improve the quality of life for these brave veterans who had been injured
during their service to their country.
Initially, a need assessment was conducted to
determine the specific requirements of each veteran in terms of mobility
aids. Based on this assessment, THCO
bought and distributed of the best quality wheelchairs. Furthermore, the
project also offered cash to the veterans for holiday expenses.
Overall, the “Mobility for Heroes” project was a great
success, providing war veterans with the essential mobility devices needed to
help them navigate their daily lives with greater ease and independence.
