British inventor that grew up in Kenya has created a wheelchair that can handle jungles and deserts. Janna Deebel, 23, designed the SafariSeat after being bound to a wheelchair for months following an accident, with the rural Africa setting in mind.
The wheelchair has four wheels each suspended so as to help it maneuver rough terrains. Parts needed to make the wheelchair are readily available such as from bicycles etc making the wheelchair low cost.
Jana is training local workshops to make the chairs for their communities.
