Last year, we raised $28,000 and delivered over 600 toys and 900 switches to children with disabilities across Canada. For 2023, we are shooting even higher. With a fundraising goal of $100,000, we are aiming to build 2,000 toys, switches, and video game joysticks, host over 100 events across all 10 provinces, and make sure that play is accessible to all kids with disabilities this holiday season.
September is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada. According to the Arthritis Society of Canada, approximately 6 million Canadians have arthritis, and nearly 1 in 2 people over 65 have arthritis. We wanted to highlight some of the newer devices in our Assistive Device Library that are designed with people with arthritis in mind.
This year, we’re marking five years of the Makers Making Change Assistive Device Library. Over the years, the Assistive Device Library has evolved. We wanted to take a look at how far we’ve come.
Our team has been hard at work over the past few months to develop a new web experience for Makers Making Change.
We’d like to give a big welcome to one of the newest Makers Making Change chapters, the Center for Assistive Technology and Communication Hawaii (CATCH).
