Objectives of the programme: To provide critical aid following a major earthquake by procuring, shipping and distributing four assistive technology kits, and revising kit contents to better meet community-based needs, leading to an increase in all-terrain wheelchairs.
Programme description: In response to the emergency crisis in Myanmar following the earthquake in March 2025, ATscale supports UNICEF Country Office for the procurement and provision of priority assistive products (focused on products that aid mobility and self-care) to partner agencies or health facilities in Gaza Strip, for provision to injured or displaced individuals. This programme was made possible through the prepositioning programme of assistive technology kits implemented with Momentum - Wheels for Humanity.
Programme results:
 | Through the support of ATscale and Momentum Wheels for Humanity, UNICEF has delivered over 2,000 assistive devices and accessories to support persons with disabilities, affected by the earthquake. These include the most urgently needed items, such as wheelchairs, crutches, walking frames, walking sticks and self-care products, tailored to help disaster-affected individuals regain mobility and dignity.
