Main Digest
Funmi Lawal was born in England and had a stroke soon after childbirth at the age of 35. She experienced first-hand how reduced mobility can rob an individual of independence and dignity. Funmi comments, 'I couldn't walk, bending down was painful and putting on underwear felt like a battle'. Funmi saw a chance to help people with limited mobility and has spent 16 years designing and testing clip-on knickers that will ultimately transform the lives of millions.
