Every Child Has the Right to Move Freely
Too many children are held back not by their abilities, but by a world that excludes them. But for the nearly 240 million children with disabilities worldwide (United Nations), daily life can feel like an uphill battle. Your support can break those barriers. No child should be left behind just because they can't walk unaided.
"He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones..."
- Tirmidhi
Mercy isn't just a feeling. It's action.
What It Means to Live with a Disability
Disability can affect a child's ability to walk, communicate, learn, or play, but the real limitation often isn't their condition.
It's the world around them:
Barriers Children Face:
No ramps at school
No accessible toilets
No transport
No affordable mobility aid
Their bodies do not disable them. Their environment disables them.
The Cost of Inaccessibility
Children with disabilities often:
Daily Challenges:
Stay home while their siblings go to school
Miss out on play, exercise, and social development
Rely on others to carry them, even to the toilet
Face teasing, pity, or silence in their communities
These things aren't just painful. They're preventable.
Mobility Aids Restore Dignity
A simple wheelchair or walker changes everything:
What Mobility Aids Provide:
A child can sit in the front row of className
They can join their friends at recess
They can move with independence, not be moved by others
This is more than movement. It's belonging.
Our Duty to Include Every Child
As an ummah, we're taught to lift the vulnerable, not forget them.
"He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones..."
- Tirmidhi
Mercy isn't just a feeling. It's action. Providing a child with a wheelchair is an act of love, justice, and faith.
Providing Mobility is:
Barriers We Can Break Together
You don't need to be a policymaker to make a difference.
You can:

Speak up when buildings aren't accessible

Help children move freely and with dignity
"Whoever brings ease to a believer, Allah will ease his affairs in this life and the next."
- Tirmidhi
Because every child deserves dignity. Every child deserves mobility. And every child deserves to belong.
