Ideea proiectului
The money will be used to buy exercise equipment which are disabled friendly.
The bulk of the equipment will be two standing aid machines (worth 8,000 euros) that can be used by our residents who are wheelchair bound. And depending on how much we achieve with your loving support we shall also aim to purchase tools that will make exercising more fun such as; consept2 SkiErg, dumbbells and a wall mounted strengthening machine.
With this useful equipment our gym will feel complete and above all it will give our elderly a chance to work on themselves and gain back some independence.
Descriere
KEPA is a non-profit organisation in Ammoxostos, Cyprus.
—————————————————————————————
We offer our local community a nursing home facility and baskets of food made with love by our kitchen at KEPA, which is delivered daily to less fortunate families.
At KEPA we have noticed how much our residents love exercising and we want to give them the fitness opportunity they deserve.
Our goal is to have enough exercise equipment in our existing physiotherapy gym to further enhance the well-being of our residents. And our impact is to increase an awareness that elderly enjoy fitness and the importance of exercising for the mental and physical health of our residents.
Fitness at any age is important.
However, the older we get the less we can do for ourselves. Fighting to get stronger in order to be able to walk to the toilet again is a priceless action for our residents at KEPA.
Exercise can help them achieve a more independent living again. But above all exercising gives them relief from pain, stiffness and makes them feel powerful again. The equipment we have chosen can be used by most of our residents and will help them feel stronger again.
