Celebrate diversity and inclusion, with equity a goal.
ARSOBO operates under three principles
Employment
Hires and trains individuals with disabilities to construct the medical device they use.
Affordability
We serve low-income families and ask them to pay only what they can afford.
Sustainability
Work toward a sustainable ‘social business’.
Turning lived experience into meaningful solutions.
9 of 12 ARSOBO’s employees have a disability
Wheelchair dependent expert craftsmen construct an all-terrain wheelchair, the RoughRider
Skilled techniques with a prosthetic leg fabricate prosthetics/orthotics
Hearing-impaired individuals assist with a hearing health program
Creating lasting social benefits beyond providing medical devices
Many of the recipients of the medical device they need and now have achieved equity, re-entered society, returned to school or to work.
Our Goal
To provide medical devices, made by individuals who use the same device, to alleviate barriers and enhance the potential of those with a disability.
Benefits That Matter.
The benefit of the project has created an avenue for individuals with disabilities to purchase assistive devices at a price they can afford and have access to increased employment opportunities.
Due to its continuing efforts for providing low-cost medical devices for people with disabilities, ARSOBO was named the 2012 recipient of the Andy Nichols Award for Social Justice. The award is given by the Arizona-Mexico Commission for persistent service in pursuit of social justice.
Creating opportunities.
Changing lives.
