The Prison Project
The Prison Project started in August 2007. Second-hand wheelchair come from the United States and are refurbished at the Bangalore Central Prison by the inmates.
Joni and Friends Intl. collects the second-hand wheelchairs in the United States from individuals who no longer need their wheelchair and sends them to Bangalore. The wheelchairs then go to the Bangalore Central Prison and are restored to a like-new condition by ten inmates (Pictured left). proVISION ASIA then distributes those wheelchairs for free to anyone who needs a wheelchair. Some of the specialty wheelchairs that come from the U.S. are not available in India, and if they were ordered from the U.S. would cost
thousands of dollars. This project is not only benefiting physically disabled people, but it also gives the inmates a sense of purpose and hope and helps with their rehabilitation back into society.
proVISION ASIA's cost for bringing the container of wheelchairs through customs, for restoration materials, and for the inmates salaries is approximately $25.00 per chair (INR 1000.00). If you would like to help pA with bring more wheelchairs into India please visit our donation page by clicking here, or by emailing us at info@provisionasia.com. Thank you for helping us give mobility, and dignity to India's physically disabled people.
