Project Enable provides challenged clients with personalized solutions to accomplish common tasks.
Many of our clients find that off-the-shelf items need to be modified or redesigned. We do this with them. We also engage with clients to design and build individualized tools and gadgets.

TopSoccer is a special program designed for children with mental or physical disabilities. TOPSoccer provides these children with an exciting and unforgettable experience filled with team games including contests and prizes. TOPSoccer uses volunteers in local communities to provide accomodations and ideas for specific children in the area. Thousands of children have experienced TOPSoccer and many more will in the future, as long as generous volunteers continue to help the cause.

Once a month volunteers get together to prepare and serve a meal at a local church to community members and their families. The majority of those who are served are either deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or developmentally or physically disabled. Many people who come to the feeding are impovershed and live in group homes and may not have any family left in their lives. Others are lucky enough to have family whom they live with and whom accompany them to the feeding.
Volunteers cook each meal as if it was for themselves.

The disabled population is often overlooked by society. It is almost as if our society would prefer to keep people with disabilities out of sight for whatever reason. Maybe it is for this reason that people with disabilities do not always get the chance to take part in everyday activities like dining out, seeing a movie, or participating in other recreational activities. With my project I plan to increase the ease with which people who are disabled can find activities in the Kalamazoo community to participate in.

As students at an engineering college with a passion for making a positive difference, our interests lie at the intersection of engineering design and social responsibility. We view engineering as the art of solving problems, and already a host of problems—from education to appropriate technology—are topics in which we can make change, even as college students. Drawn together by our common desire to empower others, we have come up with a plan for a socially conscious design firm where everybody wins.

As an amputee with a website (www.JoshSundquist.com), I frequently recieve emails from people looking for help. They write me to say they just lost a leg, or their friend just lost an arm, and were wondering what advice and information I can give them. Emails like this have only increased in the last several years due to the hundreds of amputees returning from combat in Iraq. In an effort to provide these people with better support than what I can give in an email, last year I launched a website called LessThanFour.org.
