Description

In this sensitive, but crucial episode of The Eclectic, we sit down with Alex Kamadu, Executive Director of the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals, to unpack the complexities of wheelchair distribution for persons with disabilities. Far beyond a conversation about mobility aids, this episode looks into the deeper issue of dignity, autonomy, and access.

Whether you’re a policymaker, donor, NGO worker, or ally, this episode challenges you to rethink what true inclusion really looks like and calls on all of us to ensure that assistive devices empower.
