At the event, Kobayashi Hiroki, Head of the International Affairs Committee of the Rotaract Club of Chuo University, stated that the club consists of students engaged in community service, leadership development, and professional skill-building.

Through their research, the club discovered that many individuals in Vietnam require wheelchairs but cannot afford them, making daily activities challenging.

With support from FAVIJA, the club customized the wheelchairs to fit each recipient’s specific needs, bringing a total of 10 wheelchairs to Vietnam. Kobayashi Hiroki expressed his hope that these 10 custom-fitted wheelchairs would offer greater convenience, comfort, and happiness to their users.

He also wished to expand this charitable initiative in the future and remain committed to bringing joy and well-being to people with disabilities in Vietnam.

According to FAVIJA President Do Quang Ba, FAVIJA organizes free wheelchair donation programs for people with disabilities in Vietnam every month. This marks the third time FAVIJA has donated wheelchairs to the CPFAV.

In the coming time, FAVIJA will continue its efforts as a bridge to connect Japanese charitable organizations to provide free wheelchairs to improve accessibility for people with disabilities in Vietnam, especially those from disadvantaged families.

In addition to the wheelchairs, the organizing committee also presented gifts such as food, books, and financial support to families of children with cerebral palsy.
