Most are bigger factories, but in Vietnam, for example, they have contracted with a disabled man who makes the wheelchairs by hand. He hires a couple of other disabled men to help. They put out about 3 or 4 a month. Not exactly efficient, but helping those who help themselves to rise up out of poverty in their own lives. Pretty awesome! Their wheelchairs are specifically designed for specific terrains, usages, etc, all made according to WHO standards.
