POP is a non-profit company supported entirely by donations. As most of the families we work with live in poverty, POP does not charge for any of its services.
Our outreach work offers training and mentoring to families, schools, and community health workers on how to meet children’s basic physiotherapy and health care needs.
We offer assessment for children who need APT furniture and wheelchairs.
We provide wheelchairs, repair and maintenance and APT chairs to support children with assistive technology
We offer APT skills training on how to build supportive furniture and how to set up a workshop.
We enable environments with improved access, opportunities and advocacy for children with disabilities.
While POP does everything to keep costs to a minimum by recycling wheelchairs and making assistive furniture out of cardboard, it still needs to cover the cost of four local staff salaries, transport costs for the outreach work, belts, varnish, yoga mat for APT furniture, tools, the purchase of wheelchairs and parts for the workshop, cement, sand and building costs for pathways and ramps. We welcome your support, whether that be financial, equipment or voluntary. Without your support our valuable work cannot continue.
How to make a financial donation.
Please note that any contribution paid from abroad to POP’s FNB Lesotho account must usually be paid in the currency of the country’s sender. So, if you are paying from the UK to Lesotho the donation must be paid Sterling to Sterling, not Sterling to Rands, otherwise your money will be returned by FNB.
Please contact our Finance Director if you need our banking details.
Volunteer
Please contact our Technical Director if you feel you can help with transport for the project and you have a vehicle. Also, if you are able to donate building materials or have skills you could volunteer for ramp and pathway construction.
If you wish to start a campaign to support POP with awareness raising or funds, please contact us. We have had initiatives from “The Aberdovey Rock Shop” painting rocks, to carol singing, to talks.
How to donate equipment.
Please contact our Technical Director if you have equipment to donate.
Equipment must be in good order and a suitable size for children.
We are particularly interested in child size wheelchairs, which must be robust, self-propelling and have solid tyres. We also need posterior walkers. If you have equipment in the UK, it might be possible to arrange to ship it out to Lesotho.
