All of Custom Regeneration's projects are socially, ethically, and environmentally sustainable, aimed at achieving the 17 goals defined by the United Nations as a strategy "to create a better and more sustainable future for all."
WE SUPPORT CUSTOM REGENERATION FOR PEOPLE

B-Free supports this ambitious project by promoting inclusive regeneration workshops, which, in collaboration with NGOs, can bring mobility solutions to the most disadvantaged countries.
A Wheelchair in a Hut: A Door to the World
A Wheelchair in a Hut: A Door to the World
B-FREE supports the fundraising campaign: “A Wheelchair in a Hut, a Door to the World” promoted by the NGO World Friends and the Benefit Company Custom Regeneration.
For people with disabilities living in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, a simple act like stepping out of their front door becomes a real challenge, a crucial milestone to reach in order to "gaze upon the world" and have social interaction.
The goal of the fundraising campaign is to recover and refurbish discarded wheelchairs and aids in Italy to provide them to people with disabilities in the slums of Nairobi, improving their living conditions! The funds raised will also be used to train local healthcare personnel.
If you want to help support people with disabilities in the slums of Nairobi, the fundraising campaign is active on the Eppela platform ➡️ https://www.eppela.com/projects/8907
