Michelle Bailey presented their club project to bring much needed wheelchairs to the people of Tanzania. The Build-A-Chair project is sponsored by the club: Keystone Rotary International E-Club of District #7280. The Keystone E-Club, along with their Tanzania Rotarian partner, Shedraack Domingo, discussed phase one and phase two of this project. Phase 1, which began is 2020 is now completed and provided 42 locally made wheelchairs to children and adults. Phase 2 will address the continued need to provide individuals with mobility, building another 50 wheelchairs. This phase is also focusing on education and employment opportunities which is facilitated by mobility access. A sponsorship of $260.00 will provide a custom made wheelchair. The wheelchairs, built locally by people who understand the terrain of the area, also provide any needed repairs, promoting an important sustainability component.
