The Wheeling Around the World (WAW) Foundation was officially launched by Alexandre Bodart Pinto in 2013. The Foundation intends to be the privileged spokesperson of Persons with Reduced Mobility regarding their movements from traveling, getting access to the oceans and seas, to moving with one’s family, experiencing a cultural immersion...The point is to change mentalities, to keep working in order to raise a genuine awareness with tourism companies and institutions about the importance to ensure that public places, transports and housing are accessible to as many people as possible.

Support of different projects and awareness campaign…one of the Foundation mission is raising public awareness about mobility issues, lobbying, convince people to travel more and to show that “nothing is impossible to the one who walks within their head…”

Nowadays, 20% of the population faces disability, forming the largest minority in the world. Because we are living in a globalized world where moving from one place to another is a real need, and because there is a lack of accessible transportation, services, venues, etc., we must mobilize.
