Rolling Dream

Rolling Dream's mission is to support the development and production of wheelchairs and mobility aids, as well as education for for people depending on these in developing countries. Jannicke and Juan Carlos are currently working for Design without Borders (a program under Norsk Form, the foundation for design and architecture in Norway) with Transiciones as a partner, where our main goal as industrial designers is to be a part of knowledge transfer between us and Transiciones. Through that work we have discovered that Transciones is a good and reliable foundation, and that they need funding to continue their impressive work. Working with Transiciones for Design without Borders, has left us with a wish to help beyond our current professional commitments. That is why we, as private individuals, have started Rolling Dreams. Rolling Dreams first goal is to fundraise for a production of a number of wheelchairs for children. The wheelchairs were developed in the collaboration between Design without borders and Transiciones. We are seeking funding to provide wheelchairs for children. Though the actual design is finished, the product and production line could benefit from extensive real life testing of the first 10 or 20 chairs. In order to do this, these chairs have to be funded. Rolling Dream wishes to contribute with funding for Transiciones, in order to support their work. Rolling Dream is a not-for-profit organization based in Kristiansand, Norway, and that serves both rural and urban areas in Guatemala.
