For a period of already past three years the “Saby” Charitable Foundation has been engaged in implementing the Project “Decent Life to Disabled People”. A great scope of works has been performed under the Project: 50 units of specialized vehicles were bought for 16 cities in Kazakhstan to the total amount of more than USD 2 200 000 million. So, the people who have difficulties in their movement outdoors including those ones being “confined” to their wheelchairs – today can go out, run their own business and take part in the social life like we all do!
But we are not satisfied with the results which have been already achieved. In order to improve the quality of servicing of wheelchair users, we are planning to equip each “Invataxi” Transport Service with a special crawler-tracked mechanism to be used for ups and downs of wheelchairs up- and down-stairs, as the majority of our wheelchair users are living in high-rise buildings. Unfortunately, up to the date we have up and down wheelchair users in the arms of their relatives and personal assistants. That is very difficult and dangerous.
Being focused on the given problem, our Foundation began the process of accumulating the funds for procurement of such mechanisms the cost of which is over USD 10 000 per 1 set, and their further uncompensated transfer to all the existing Societies of Disabled People cooperating with us under the given Project.
