A prominent ministry to the disabled community will have distributed 65,000 wheelchairs to people who cannot afford one by the end of the year, it announced.

Joni and Friends International Disability Center, founded by quadriplegic Joni Eareckson Tada, seeks to provide not only the gift of mobility but also spiritual support to affected families. Its programme, Joni and Friends Wheels for the World, helps communities around the world understand God’s heart for people with disabilities while providing physical relief through the wheelchair.
