Disabled Travelers Can Now Expect Assistance.jpg)
Kamuzu International Airport, Malawi … One can hardly imagine a handicapped person arriving at an International Airport only to find no wheelchair available to assist them. Until recently this was true in Malawi, Central Africa until the donation of seven wheelchairs to the Airport Authority from the Malawi Project, and the Free Wheelchair Mission of Costa Mesa, California.
Mr. Francis Kid Mkoloma, the Operations Manager, looks on as Mrs. D. Chikakulu, Senior Human Resources Manager, shakes hands with Richard Stephens, the Director of the Malawi Project, after the presentation of the seven wheelchairs.
The wheelchairs will be distributed to the three major airports where the most flights into and out of the nation arrive; Lilongwe in the central region, Blantyre in the south, and Mzuzu in the north.
