Our Story
Born from personal experience. Built for lasting impact.
Nkidi Manufacturing Accessibility Solutions was founded in 2021 by Thandi Nkidi following a personal diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which left her wheelchair-bound for twelve months. That lived experience became the foundation of a business dedicated to the dignity and independence of all persons with disabilities.
Our work is guided by a single conviction: every person deserves safe, dignified access to sanitation regardless of physical ability.
