Shona Mcdonald started manufacturing wheelchairs and other assistive devices in her garage, motivated by how little there was to support her daughter, who was born with disabilities. Without the appropriate equipment, children with disabilities face social exclusion and are susceptible to serious secondary health complications. ShonaquipSE is Africa’s sole ISO13485-certified design manufacturer of pediatric wheelchairs and therapeutic equipment. Its Cape Town factory serves South and Southern Africa and export countries globally. Since 1992, ShonaquipSE has provided assistive technology, outreach services, and training to more than 650,000 people with disabilities.
