AIDANEED FOUNDATION
The Aidaneed Foundation is a non-profit organization that funds and provides new wheelchairs and mobility aids to underprivileged citizens of all ages with a range of disabilities. This foundation will change the lives of persons living with disabilities by providing therapy to facilitate proper positioning and support mobility to function as independently as possible. Aidaneed was launched in 2019 and merged with Theraplay Paediatrics Ltd, our partner company.
ADAPT A TOY
Adapt-a-Toy is a Christmas initiative to provide specially adapted toys to children with special needs. It began in 2020 with Life OT and Theraplay, in our first year, we were able to gift 15 special needs children with adapted toys. Last year in 2022, we provided specially adapted toys and gifts to 100 children and a children's home. We look forward to ensuring every child nominated receives a toy for Christmas- every child deserves a chance to play.

EDUFLY INITIATIVE
EduFly is a flyer campaign with a thematic twist, dedicated to promoting special needs inclusive education. We plan to release new sets of flyers coinciding with key events throughout the year, including Carnival, Easter, Summer, and Halloween. We aim to have them placed in a variety of different places such as doctor's offices, work places, and schools.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Placing your loved one in a facility is never an easy decision, even when it’s the best choice for everyone involved. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse is widespread, making it essential to know what to do if you suspect abuse or neglect. We put together a guide to help inform people.
