Real Stories of Impact

Meet Jacky: Once reliant on an ageing electric wheelchair that left him stranded, Jacky—a recruitment consultant specialising in helping disabled individuals find meaningful work—was at risk of losing his ability to serve others. When his wheelchair battery died, Action Asia Foundation stepped in: we replaced his battery, serviced his chair, and got Jacky moving again. Today, Jacky continues to empower others to find employment, showing that with the right support, one person’s ability can create opportunities for many.
