How WAKE helps support Amazonian Kichwa elders
WAKE focuses on a simple but meaningful need: helping elders in Amazonian Kichwa communities gain access to mobility walkers that can improve safety, movement, and independence in daily life.
Practical support with direct impact
In remote communities, access to mobility support is not always easy. For elders, a walker can make a major difference in everyday life, helping with balance, mobility, and confidence while moving through the home or community.
WAKE exists to help meet that need in a direct and practical way. The work is centered on respect, relationship, and meaningful support.
How It Works
A clear process from support to delivery
02
They are transported to Ecuador
Support helps make shipping and transportation possible so the walkers can reach the region.
03
They are distributed to elders
The walkers are placed into the hands of elders, helping improve mobility and daily independence.
Why It Matters
Mobility is deeply connected to dignity and daily life
A walker is more than a piece of equipment. It can help an elder move more safely, participate more fully in community life, and maintain greater independence.
WAKE’s work is not about “rescuing.” It is about offering practical help in a respectful way that responds to a real need.
Small, practical support can make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
Support the work
