Locally Manufactured and Maintained

Community-Led and Operated
Co-Designed with Dignity
Our stretchers are operated and maintained by community members, for community members
With community support, REACH has launched their stretcher in Langa, Cape Town, providing people with reliable, community-designed emergency transport.
Built locally and tailored to the terrain, the stretchers do more than carry patients. They bring together health workers, bike mechanics, neighbors, and local businesses to create a system that serves their community.

“Most of the patients are staying alone in their shacks. They don’t have the money to Uber, and they are very sick. This [REACH] will help a lot.”
