It is estimated that over one billion people need one or more Assistive Devices; however only around 10% have access to them.

This is a heartbreaking statistic that …For Good Hope strives to change!
We do not import ANY of our products! We source all raw materials locally, from South African businesses and factories. Thereafter, we manufacture products either in our in-house studio or in various factories in KZN, depending on the machinery needed. We strive to source the cheapest raw materials as possible whilst not compromising on the quality of the product. This ensures the products are more affordable and accessible. We hope that this little business can solve the barriers that we have faced with purchasing Assistive Devices in the past.
The benefits of Assistive Devices goes far beyond participation in an activity and an individual’s independence. They provide means for productivity, provide a person with dignity, enable individuals to hold jobs, to participate in education and to become an involved community member. As a result of these short term benefits, Assistive Devices can help reduce the need for ongoing hospital visits and caregivers; as well as help to increase their contribution to society and the labour force. This ensures that these individuals are less of a burden to society and their families.
