Twenty-five years of children and families, partnerships and persistence, wheelchairs and walkers, workshops and advocacy, inclusion and community, small steps and life-changing moments.
Most of all, 25 years of learning from children and youth with disabilities and their families - about resilience, injustice, joy, creativity, and what becomes possible when people are given the support, tools, and opportunities they deserve.
We are so grateful to everyone who has been part of this work: families, children, youth, volunteers, donors, partners, therapists, teachers, advocates, and friends across Canada, Peru, and beyond.
We also want to be honest: this anniversary comes at a difficult time. Like many small grassroots international organizations, Equip KIDS is facing serious challenges. We are trying to survive, rebuild, and find a sustainable way forward.
But this milestone also reminds us why the work matters — and why we are not ready to give up.
As we mark 25 years, we are looking for people to help us turn a corner and carry Equip KIDS into its next chapter.
Ways to get involved:
💙 Join our Board of Directors
💙 Join a committee or volunteer your skills
💙 Join our team and walk, run, or roll with us at the Toronto Waterfront races this October
💙 Become a monthly or one-time donor
💙 Share this post and help spread the word
💙 Connect us with people, groups, businesses, or foundations who may want to support this work
To everyone who has helped make these 25 years possible: thank you.
If Equip KIDS has meant something to you, or if you believe children with disabilities deserve access, inclusion, mobility, play, education, dignity, and community, this would be a beautiful moment to get involved.
We need people with us right now — not someday, but now — to help us turn a corner and carry this work into its next chapter.
Here’s to 25 years of children, families, access, inclusion, and hope - and to building what comes next, together.
