Locally Manufactured and Maintained

Community-Led and Operated
Co-Designed with Dignity
Our stretchers are operated and maintained by community members, for community members
Community-supported emergency transport
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.
Our Partners
“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.”
