Wheels of Dignity: Get 15 Stranded Tricycle Riders Moving Again
In Nasarawa Eggon, a hand-pedal tricycle is how many people living with disability reach the market, the farm and the clinic. When one breaks on rough roads, a repair of around ₦15,000 is out of reach, and its owner can be stuck at home for months. A two-day KCDI repair clinic, run by local mechanics and welders, will fully restore 15 tricycles and give every rider the tools to keep moving.

The need
Why this matters
For polio survivors and people with physical disabilities in rural Nasarawa, a tricycle is not a convenience. It is how they earn a living, buy food, attend worship and stay part of community life.
Rocky, unpaved roads wear tricycles down fast. Bearings seize, chains snap, tyres tear and frames crack, and there are few nearby mechanics with the right parts.
Rather than buying new equipment from abroad, this clinic brings tricycles people already own back to life, pays local artisans fairly, and turns months of isolation into a ride home within two days.
