In a moving ceremony held at the Orthopedic and Functional
Rehabilitation Center in Hanoi, Israeli Ambassador to Vietnam, Meirav Eilon
Shahar, presented the first 20 wheelchairs to a festive crowd, sending a message
of solidarity and friendship.
The Embassy decided to
utilize the budget allocated for the festivities of Israel’s 69th Independence
Day to purchase the innovative, one-of-a-kind and lightweight wheelchairs from
Israeli company “Wheelchairs of Hope.”
The remaining 80 wheelchairs will be delivered to additional
rehabilitation centers in four provinces in Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh, Can Tho, Ben
Tre and Ha Giang. Wheelchairs of Hope is
an Israeli initiative that aims to develop, design, manufacture and provide
wheelchairs to children in need of mobility.
They were among the first to
receive the Grand Challenges Israel (GCI) grant, dedicated to supporting
technological and innovative solutions to challenges in global health and food
security in developing countries. GCI is operated by the Office of the Chief
Scientist Ministry of Economy in collaboration with MASHAV as part of
commitment to share its knowledge and experience to inspire and support fellow
nations in their struggle with development challenges, and constitutes a
meeting point between Israeli development diplomacy and technological
entrepreneurship.
