   ARSOBO’s mission is to provide medical devices, made by individuals who use the same device, to alleviate barriers and enhance the potential of those with a disability. WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED - EIGHT YEARS OF ARSOBO- ARSOBO trained and hired 15 individuals with disabilities- ARSOBO constructed more than 475 all-terrain wheelchairs (one-third customized for children with disabilities) and constructed many specially designed STROLLERS- ARSOBO fabricated more than 530 prosthesis. ARSOBO assessed the hearing of more than individuals and distributed over 850 hearing aids. ARSOBO operates under three Principles:1.Train and then employ those who use the medical devices they build for others2.Charge for these devices but, only what the families can afford3. Work toward a sustainable ‘social business’ARSOBO developed sequentially in three phases:1.Create a shop that constructs durable wheelchairs designed for rough terrain2. Develop the capacity and expertise to build prosthesis and orthotics3. Implement a Hearing Health clinic to evaluate adults and children for hearing impairments and distribute appropriate low-cost hearing aids to those who need them
