Alehoppa vzw is a Belgian non-profit association based in Bruges that works towards a society without barriers for children with motor disabilities and their families. It lends and matches mobility aids and paramedical equipment through an online sharing platform, makes schools and public buildings accessible (including funding a lift for a school in Bruges), and runs the Sport@School programme with adapted sports materials so children can take part in physical education. It also advises parents, schools and therapists on accessibility and available subsidies, connects families affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) through peer support, and raises funds for SMA research via the Kan-GO fund at KU Leuven. The organisation was founded in 2018 by three mothers and works mainly in Flanders.
