At NAFF Foundation, we work closely with elderly people who are living with pain, weakness, and limited mobility. Many of them have suffered strokes, arthritis, injuries, or age-related conditions that make walking difficult. Some have been bedridden for months, not because they are too sick to recover, but because they do not have the right mobility support.<br /><br />A wheelchair is more than just equipment — it is freedom, dignity, and hope.<br /><br />For many elderly people in our care, the inability to move from one place to another affects every part of life. It prevents them from attending medical appointments, accessing physiotherapy sessions, visiting community gatherings, and even going outside to feel fresh air and sunlight. It also increases isolation and depression, because they feel trapped and dependent.<br /><br />With a wheelchair, an elderly person can safely move from their bed to the therapy area, to the washroom, or outside for fresh air. It reduces the risk of falls and injuries, and it helps caregivers support them without physical strain. Most importantly, it restores confidence and encourages recovery through movement and rehabilitation.<br /><br />At our Elderly Physiocare Centre, each donated wheelchair will support multiple elderly beneficiaries. It will be used daily for physiotherapy sessions, medical referrals, home visits, and community support activities.<br /><br />By donating a wheelchair, you are not only giving equipment — you are giving an elderly person the chance to live with dignity, comfort, and independence again.

We are working with young girls in rural communities who urgently need access to menstrual pads. Many of these girls cannot afford to buy disposable pads every month, which affects their health, confidence, and ability to attend school. Through this request, 500 girls will receive reusable menstrual pads, providing up to two years of support. This will significantly improve menstrual hygiene management, reduce absenteeism, and help girls stay focused and engaged in their education. Access to safe, reusable pads means dignity, better health, and stronger school participation for girls who deserve the same opportunities as their peers.
