Parkinson patients Support Organization-Ethiopia (PPSO-E) dominantly works in three main component activities. One is related to awareness raising, the second is related to capacity building and the other is related to care & support activities. With the help of GG INC we created awareness and patients always look for extra supports in managing their diseases. In addition to providing drugs, they need walking aids to support them balance while walking, travelling inside town, making exercises and standing.

PPSO-E interviewed two patients in an experience sharing meeting and they delivered what benefits the walking cane brought into their life as follows: Their photos are attached with this report.

The walking cane helped us when we exercise simple gymnastic activities by lifting our hands up and down.
The walking cane helps in reducing tremor when our hands are supported by it while walking
The walking cane helps to support us when we want to commute in town. We can use it as support to walk into public transport vehicles
One of the patients Mr. Sinishaw said he even use the walking cane to give him stamina when he wants to wake up from bed & go to rest room.
