This article tells the story of Aimé, a 32-year-old self-taught electronics repairer in Tshikala, in the Congolese province of Lualaba, whose life was transformed by receiving a wheelchair through World Vision DRC’s Gift-In-Kind (GIK) programme. Born without the use of his legs, Aimé’s work was limited by his inability to travel independently. Thanks to this donation, he can now visit clients, purchase spare parts, expand his customer base, and consider opening a workshop. The wheelchair has not only increased his income and eased the burden on his family, but it has also changed how the community sees him, shifting his image from “the young man in a wheelchair” to “the phone repairer”. His story highlights the profound impact that well-targeted in-kind donations can have, restoring autonomy, dignity, and social recognition to people who have long been marginalised.
