dc.description.abstractDeveloping appropriate assistive technology to be manufactured and maintained within the local context of a low-resource setting,requires alternative design principles and designerly ways to those used when designing in,or for, more resourced regions of the world. This case study offers an empirical account of the design of safariseat, an all-terrain wheelchair that has been designed, tested, manufactured and turned into a sustainable Enterprise in east Africa. The wheelchair was developed with intentions to reduce inequality and help alleviate poverty in low-resource communities by improving users' health, wellbeing and participation in society, whilst creating and facilitating local jobs to support communities. Having developed safariseat with a human-centred design approach, a local mind-set, and prioritisation of usability and affordability, this case study is used to reflecton the applied design principles, practices and processes whilst providing contextual insights for other designers seeking to work in a similar way. The case study covers the topics of designing in a low-resource context, moving from prototype to production line, user testing and outreach, founders, funding and finding a local team, enhancing product value and increasing impact. This paper discusses challenges encountered whilst designing in alow-resource setting, and highlights how local collaboration and partnerships can help lead to the creation of a more sustainable design solution.es
