AAR

who we are

The Association for Aid and Relief Japan (AAR) is a non-government organization providing emergency aid, assistance and support to people with disabilities. Since 2000, we have been working with the National Rehabilitation Center's Wheelchair workshop to improve their productivity in manufacturing wheelchairs and tricycles.

what we do

We proactively employ and train persons with disabilities as technical experts and staff in the workshop, and distribute the wheelchairs in 10 Lao provinces. In Laos, few of the 50,000 people with disabilities have opportunities to earn money, and thus few can afford to buy a wheelchair.
