Consolidating Logistics for Assistive Technology Supply and Provision (CLASP) is a USAID-funded project implemented by Momentum Wheels for Humanity that increases access to a variety of high-quality, affordable mobility aids, and promotes appropriate provision globally. We provide a solution to supply-side challenges faced by wheelchair service providers in less-resourced settings, such as limited product variety, extensive lead time, and logistical burdens.

According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 70 million people worldwide need a wheelchair for basic mobility and as many as 95% of them do not have one, limiting their social inclusion and participation. Our mission is to increase access to quality assistive products for people with disabilities in low and middle-income countries.

Through a consolidation hub in China, CLASP enables buyers to make large or small orders of mixed products and sizes, delivering mobility devices that best suit users’ individual needs faster and more efficiently.

We stock and are ready-to-ship a range of wheelchairs, postural support devices, walking aids, cushions, parts kits, and more from suppliers including Diversability Development Organization (DDO), INTCO, Jarik Medical, Momentum Wheels for Humanity, Motivation, RoughRider America, and Participant Assistive Products. All wheelchair products come with a standard set of promotion and support materials that provide details of the product’s performance specifications, plus instructions on the proper use and care of the product.

We do not sell individual products directly to consumers.

We have a global network of transport and logistics specialists and have shipped over 30,000 products to some of the most remote locations in the world.

PAC-approved products in the CLASP catalog are selected through a competitive bidding or review process to ensure that CLASP is responsive to market needs. The Product Advisory Council (PAC) conducts a comprehensive evaluation to ensure that products pass minimum durability standards and evaluates a product demo to confirm specifications and usability. The PAC is a peer-nominated, competitively selected group of clinical, technical and wheelchair-user experts composed of volunteers from around the world and was formed under advisement of​ the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals (ISWP). PAC-approved products include an approval seal on their pages

The CLASP catalog also includes products that have not undergone the detailed PAC review and in-person evaluation process. These products are from known suppliers that have other PAC-approved products in the CLASP catalog. Learn More.

CLASP is committed to promoting appropriate provision. This value is integrated into all aspects of the project, from marketing and sales; to the selection of assistive products; and the promotion of CLASP Service Partners, who are leaders in delivering appropriate provision in line with the WHO’s 8-Steps to people with disabilities in their communities.
