About Us

Build-A-Chair is a grassroots Rotary initiative which focuses on improving the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing them a wheelchair and thus mobility in order to live an active, productive life with dignity. Our program, Build-A-Chair, is supervised by local Rotarian and physiotherapist, Shedrack Domingo. The need is great and the investment is small.

Shedrack Domingo

Club Rotarian Shedrack Domingo serves as our 'boots on the ground' managing the entire process from client selection to wheelchair design. Shedrack is a trained physiotherapist who runs the EPT clinic in Moshi, Tanzania making him the ideal person to ensure our initiative is serving the right people.

Community impact

Our program is positively impacting the local community by using local wheelchair technologists to build customized wheelchairs, that fit both the client and the terrain. The parts are local, the repairs are local. A seamstress helps to make the pressure cushions for the wheelchairs. We are investing in the community!
