Our History

CLASP began in 2014 as a project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Its goal then is the same today: to expand access to high-quality assistive products in low- and middle-income countries by improving how those products are sourced and delivered.

To guide product selection, CLASP established a Product Advisory Council (PAC)—a peer-nominated, competitively selected group of clinical, technical, and wheelchair-user experts. Formed with guidance from the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals (ISWP), the PAC continues to provide technical review and recommendations, ensuring products meet global standards and are suited for use in less-resourced settings.

CLASP also selected 18 service providers from across the globe to receive a donated container of products to test and refine the CLASP model. To inquire about a provider in our network, please contact sales@clasphub.org.

Since its first shipment in 2015, CLASP has delivered more than 93,000 assistive products across nearly 70 countries—reducing barriers to access and streamlining global distribution.

In 2025, CLASP transitioned from a donor-funded initiative to a social enterprise and is operated by Momentum Wheels for Humanity.
