The right of mobility is the right to move around freely. Securing the right of mobility is an urgent issue for the elderly and people having physical disabilities due to illness or accident. Without the help of assistive devices, their movement is significantly restricted. However, expensive devices are the pipe dream for the vulnerable groups.  Their financial hardships take away the freedom of movement.

On July 11, a meaningful ceremony was held at the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion [MIDIS] located in Lima, Peru. The Intl. WeLoveU Foundation (hereinafter the WeLoveU) donated 24 wheelchairs to MIDIS for the elderly and people with severe disabilities in Indiana, Loreto, Peru. Indiana is located in the Amazon rainforest, where many people suffer financial hardship. Due to insufficient welfare system, it is harder to move around for people with limited.

The ceremony was attended by Dina Boluarte, the Vice President of Peru and Minister of MIDIS, and Marlom Crisóstomo, the Head of Indiana District, and Kim Wang-hyeon, the Chapter Manager of the WeLoveU in Lima, Peru. Many people in charge of welfare policy at the MIDIS were also present.
