Stretching our Limits

Gathoni 2

Thank You For Helping My Friend Gathoni Breathe

All through the campaign, I carried my friend Gathoni in my heart and I felt so united with her in spirit and especially in moments when I too, just like her, struggled to breathe while going through the tough terrains of Nyandarua, Nakuru and Laikipia counties.

Appropriate Paper-based Technology 

 
apt 3In L'Arche Kenya we use Appropriate Paper-based Technology (APT) to convert cartons into disability rehabilitation assistive devices e.g.a carton chairs or standing frames.
The products are light to carry, affordable, easy to make, safe to use and maintain which makes them appropriate for children with developmental issues and other conditions like cerebral palsy. Users are able to attain head control, trunk control, use of upper and lower limbs, concentration and interaction with other children in play. Caregivers can easily move them from one place to another.
