Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide mobility products for people with disabilities in developing countries and to foster partnerships through ministry, youth empowerment, wheelchair distributions, manufacturing opportunities and educational development.
Youth ROC:In 2020, Youth ROC developed three new partnerships within our community and distributed 72 wheelchairs (34 of those were ROCkits) to Mexico with a team of 18.
ROC Innovators:ROC Innovators interns refined and fabricated gait trainer prototypes as an attachment for the Cub wheelchair base and the final version was field tested in Uganda in November. Field testing revealed the need for redesign as a stand-alone device so a conceptual prototype was created in December.ROC Warriors:The ROC Warriors local program initiated its first three wheelchair builds (RWB 1-3) in the first quarter. The ROC Warriors national program raised funds and procured 200 wheelchairs which were shipped to Nepal. Children received these wheelchairs through our partner organization in Nepal even though our team of veterans were not able to participate in the process.ROC Shop (Community Service):ROC Wheels engaged 29 individuals from the county court community service and prison reentry programs. These individuals provided of 461 hours of service to ROC Wheels, helping us assemble Rockit wheelchairs and construct an office for our new executive director.COVID-19 Impact:The COVID-19 pandemic reduced ROC Wheels effectiveness as follows: A planned May trip to fit wheelchairs in the West Bank was cancelled. COVID-19 lockdowns in the West Bank have prevented our local partner from delivering the wheelchairs to kids. A planned July trip to Uganda for a Community-Based Rehab conference was cancelled. A planned Fall trip to deliver wheelchairs in Nepal was cancelled. All activities with the prison reentry program individuals were cancelled.
