Celebrate Luis' 50th Birthday With Walkabout

September is a very special month for Walkabout – it marks our co-founder Luis’ birthday! He is the original #WalkaboutHero and the inspiration behind everything we do.

Luis was Spinal Cord Injured at the age of 18, but he never let it stop him from making a difference. Since launching Walkabout in 2009, Luis and his sister Carolina have changed the lives of over 75,500 people across the globe.

As many of you know, the Dominican Republic (DR) holds a special place in the Gonzalez-Bunster family’s hearts – a second home. In the next few years, we aim to establish a new Wheelchair Distribution Centre in the DR, replicating the successful and sustainable model of our Kenya Centre.

Our new hub will be based in the CODEVI Free Zone, a strategic location that will not only allow us to operate effectively in the DR, but also support Haiti. By leveraging the DR’s stable infrastructure and logistics, we’ll be able to reach thousands of children and adults in need in both countries.

Join us in celebrating Luis’ 50th birthday by helping us take the next step in our journey. Your donation will support the creation of Walkabout’s new Centre in the Dominican Republic, transforming countless lives across the DR and Haiti.
