Ferdinand Rodricks is a mechanical genius and converts ordinary vehicles and makes them suitable for the use of disabled people.

Till now he has altered over 1,000 vehicles so they can be used by persons with disabilities without anyone’s help.

Ferdinand Rodricks wants to ensure that disabled people are able to live their life with independence and dignity.

He has been doing this for 30 years and is happy to have helped hundreds of disabled people.

His designs have made it possible for disabled people to do activities like going for work, attending school, or just to visit a friend’s house.
