📽️Watch #UnlockTheEveryday‘s amazing new campaign film to learn more about how #AssistiveTechnology unlocks opportunities for all! Today, 2.5 billion people need at least one form of assistive product - and access to it is a human right. But today only 10% of people in low-income countries can access the AT they need. 🦽🦻👓📱🦿 In celebration of the first ever World Day for Assistive Technology, we’re shining a light on this inequity and the urgent need for people to access affordable assistive technology such as wheelchairs, eyeglasses, hearing aids, prosthetics and digital devices that enable people to live independent lives – to study, work and enjoy the everyday moments that many of us take for granted. Join us, share your thoughts on the film and show it to your networks! 🙌 👉 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/eR8AWWvt #UnlockTheEveryday #WorldATDay A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO) Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.
