Wild Wheelchairs
Pushing the boundaries of engineering and adventure.
What it is
Following a hand cycling expedition through the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, those taking part also set up an affordable wheelchair manufacturing facility in Bhahir Dar.
The FLOAT Foundation continues to support the facility by working with Southampton University and developing projects to support the disabled and those affected by the conflict in the Northern Territories.
