ABOUT US

Millions of people with disabilities in Argentina face barriers that go far beyond mobility, such as education, employment, healthcare and dignity.

While the country is experiencing some economic stabilization, inflation remains extremely high, and public systems are under enormous strain.

That’s where CILSA comes in. For more than 60 years, CILSA has built one of the largest inclusion networks in Argentina, reaching vulnerable communities across the country through wheelchairs, education, employment training, sports, and community programs.

A Wheelchair Is Never Just a Wheelchair

A wheelchair becoming access to school, work, independence, and participation in society is what makes this work so powerful.

70,000

LIVES TRANSFORMED

Thanks to partnerships with American donors, rotary leaders, and foundations, more than 70,000 wheelchairs have been distributed nationwide to those in every stage of life.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MULTIPLIER EFFECT

In a country where nonprofits are essential to sustaining social inclusion, international support has an extraordinary multiplier effect. A contribution in the U.S. can directly help restore mobility, dignity, and opportunity for thousands of families in Argentina.
