This initiative seeks to facilitate their economic and social rehabilitation, granting them greater independence and participation in daily life.

Eligibility for the program is determined by several factors. Individuals suffering from conditions like muscular dystrophy, stroke, cerebral palsy, or hemophilia may qualify, provided they meet specific criteria. These include good eyesight, mental capacity, and sufficient upper body strength to operate the tricycle while seated.
