Free Wheelchair Mission is a non-profit faith-based international humanitarian organization that works to be able to provide free wheelchairs to the impoverished disabled persons in developing countries. It works in partnership with a network of other humanitarian groups that share the same advocacy. To date, FWM has already sent more than 583,000 wheelchairs to over 81 countries across the world. Through their mission, they do not just offer a gift of mobility, but of hope, independence, and dignity.

Furthermore, FWM wheelchairs are not your ordinary ones. They are specially designed to allow use in rugged terrain, combining the durability of resin lawn chair and the strength of a custom steel frame. All the benefits are tucked into a sturdy pair of mountain bike tires. These wheelchairs cost less than the mainstream ones, needing just $63.94 to be produced. 

FWM was founded by Don Schoendorfer, a PhD in biochemical engineering in 2001. It is headquartered in Irvine, California and has more than 675 volunteers worldwide.
