The situation is even more challenging in suburban and mountains regions,
where accessibility is lower and financial barriers higher,
resulting in far fewer mobility aids compared with urban areas.
Mobility devices are essential for maintaining daily life and staying connected
to society, yet many obstacles still prevent equal access for all.

To help protect the mobility rights of neighbors who need courage
even to take a single step, the International WeLoveU Foundation
(hereinafter referred to as “WeLoveU”) partnered with the Ministry
of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP) to provide wheelchairs
to households with persons with physical disabilities.

On October 30, a donation ceremony was held at Programa Integral Nacional
para el Bienestar Familiar (INABIF), an agency under MIMP in Lima.

A total of 115 participants—including persons with disabilities and
their families, the Minister and Vice Minister of MIMP, representatives
from related institutions, and members of WeLoveU—
gathered to celebrate the beginning of a new journey for the beneficiaries.

A warm, uplifting mood filled the venue as participants exchanged
bright smiles. Among the beneficiaries and their families,
there was a mix of excitement and relief.

Sign language interpretation was provided throughout the ceremony.
WeLoveU members also assisted beneficiaries
in test-driving the wheelchairs to ensure safe and comfortable use.

One elderly beneficiary shared,
“I have struggled with mobility due to polio, but now I can go to work
on my own and even take care of household tasks.
You have given us independence
and a chance for a better life,” expressing gratitude to WeLoveU.

Aleida Karina Chacón Olivos, President of the Asociación
Los Embajadores de Buena Voluntad,
an organization advocating for disability rights and mobility support, said,
“Independence and mobility mean everything to us.
On behalf of the disability community,
I thank WeLoveU for protecting these essential rights.”

Sandra Gutiérrez Cuba, Minister of MIMP, added,
“This is excellent work for persons with disabilities.
Efforts like this will improve their quality of life.”

After the ceremony, WeLoveU members visited the homes
of those who were unable to attend, personally delivering the wheelchairs
and helping recipients get accustomed to using them. They hoped
the support would mark a fresh beginning toward a better quality of life.

A mother caring for her 20-year-old son with a disability expressed her gratitude,
saying, “As my son grew and became bigger, caregiving became harder.
I am truly thankful for this wheelchair.”

The wheelchairs delivered that day were distributed
through local governments across Peru to community members in need.

On November 7, WeLoveU members were invited to attend
another donation ceremony held at the Regional Government of Callao.
The Regional Governor, government officials, and members of Congress
joined the event and expressed their sincere appreciation
for the improvement in residents’ quality of life.

Ciro Ronald Castillo Rojo Salas, Governor of the Callao Region, said,
“Today we received 43 wheelchairs.
This support benefits not only the recipients but also their entire families.”
He expressed his gratitude to Chairwoman Zahng Gil-jah of WeLoveU.

This wheelchair donation has brought renewed vitality
to neighbors who have lived with mobility challenges for many years.

WeLoveU will continue expanding assistance for people with limited mobility,
striving to create a world where everyone can move freely
and explore life with hope.
