Equip KIDS (Kids In Developing Societies) International is a non-sectarian, non-governmental, grassroots, charitable organization dedicated to helping children with disabilities around the world reach their full potential. 

Our primary focus is the production and distribution of assistive technology (i.e. wheelchairs, walkers and communication devices) in developing nations, as well as the education of children with disabilities, their caregivers and their therapists. We believe that every child has the right to mobility, communication and education and we are committed to providing the tools disabled children require to meet and exceed these needs. We certainly understand the enormity of the tasks ahead of us, but we have also seen what a huge difference the smallest of steps can make in the lives of these children.

Take, for example, Carlos, a bright 11 year-old with Cerebral Palsy from Cusco, Peru.  When we met Carlos, he was spending his days in a plastic bathtub in one of the family's two rooms. His family had neither the money nor the resources to get him a wheelchair and Carlos is unable to sit in a normal chair.  We supplied him with his first wheelchair, complete with custom seating and a tray.  He can now go out to play with his friends, go for walks with his brother, and perhaps most importantly, is attending school for the first time.  This one chair has changed his life immeasurably. 

Carlos is just one child among millions in similar circumstances around the world. 

However, with every child we help, we are one step closer to our goal.
