The Foundation has executed various projects in association with SIAM and CII including the Auto Expo where the Foundation invites over 100 Wheel Chair users to visit the venue of the Expo on Goodwill Day (A day before the Auto Expo). The Foundation also provided wheelchair facility during the Auto Expo to anyone – aged, injured or disabled.

Its latest initiative, Wheels for Life started in October 2016, is a transparent platform that has been designed to enable PwD’s to request for wheelchairs and for donors to gift, in a simple straight-forward and accessible manner. The main objective is to ensure that persons with physical disabilities have access to facilities they need to live an empowered and fulfilling life. ‘Wheels for Life’ initiative reaches out to as many deserving beneficiaries through two ways — directly to people who need wheelchairs and cannot afford them and by encouraging and facilitating the gifting of wheelchairs. People can easily make donations on the website. Transparent functioning of ‘Wheels for Life’ has managed to bridge the gap between donors and beneficiaries and ensures that people get to see the beneficiaries who have received wheelchairs from their donations.
