We believe that the long-term needs of the disabled community are best met through community-based rehabilitation and sustainable development. Therefore, we support and implement the production of low-cost assistive technology (AT) within developing nations. By setting up not-for-profit AT workshops where they are needed most, and by using local materials and training local disabled and able-bodied workers, such equipment can be produced at a fraction of the cost of North American devices. Local production creates jobs and improves the local economy while producing affordable assistive technology for individuals throughout the region. Furthermore, such production empowers the community to meet its own needs and removes dependence on outside sources. 

We also encourage families to build their own devices and provide the designs, training, and advice necessary to do so.
