In consultation with Leonard
Cheshire International, Motivation worked at the Fatmawati Hospital
in Jakarta to refurbish an existing wheelchair workshop in the hospital
grounds. The Merdeka four-wheeled folding wheelchair was designed and
produced. The workshop is staffed by a local team, many of whom are
disabled themselves.
A permanent active rehabilitation course was built by Motivation on
the grounds of the hospital to enable wheelchair users to learn the
essential mobility skills that lead toward an independent lifestyle.
Motivation also introduced wheelchair tennis. As a result, the first
Indonesian National Wheelchair Tennis Team was created and the workshop
now produces tennis wheelchairs which are in demand all over Asia.
