Don and Sunan Willcox started the Foundation to Encourage Disabled Persons, part of the Chiang Mai Disabled Center in Thailand.  Since 1994, they have been providing wheelchairs and accessories to the poor in Thailand.  Below is a letter from them:

Your wheelchairs arrived and were safely unloaded yesterday.Whew! That was a long day. We hired 6 men and a fork lift to unload the container, but all went well, other than sore muscles.

As you are aware, we do not give wheelchairs away indiscriminately. Each potential recipient is visited at home by our therapist and assistant covering 6 Provinces of rural and mountainous north Thailand. This is done in order to verify need, review terrain, family circumstances, evaluate the disability and eventually provide proper mobility support and training, including our self-help wheelchair user manual. None of this can be done fast, especially since we have limited staff and limited funds. We will do our very best. We are a disabled facility that understands the loss of mobility personally. We are not an assembly line of distribution.

I am positively impressed! Yesterday was our first experience to actually see your wheelchair complete and first hand. There is thoughtfulness within your design that clearly makes your wheelchairs unique, in our experience. Including the pump, the safety harness, and the tool kit makes it very clear that you understand the conditions of developing countries and are not just about collecting and distributing western-made mobility aids. 

For us, your wheelchairs are open-minded enough in design that we will easily be able to adapt them to individual needs.  For example: extending a foot rest for a spastic cerebral palsy survivor, padding the seat sides for a paraplegic, or adding a head/neck support for someone who suffers from loss of head control allows us to fit each wheelchair specifically to the need. In other words, although your chairs were produced at a lower individual cost, they demonstrate a well-planned concern to provide real people with real developing-world mobility. Thank you to all. We have already contacted two Burmese refugee camps along the Thai/Burma border offering your chairs to land mine victims. So let's see what happens. Thanks again and warm regards.
