Mobility Provides Independence Dignity Hope
Take a step towards changing a life forever and help us make every South African mobile again.
Our Story
Rejuvenate SA, founded by Travis Warwick-Oliver, adaptive athlete and right below the knee amputee.
In 2019, after a devastating motorbike accident, Travis woke up in hospital to discover that his life had changed forever. With the support of his family and friends, months of intensive rehabilitation and community fund-raising projects, Travis found himself back on his own ‘two feet’ with a prosthetic right leg and running blade that has seen him take on some of the most challenging running races in South Africa; including the Ultra Trail Drakensberg, Ultra Trail Cape Town and Comrades Ultra Marathon. Through this experience, he realised the costs involved in getting mobile again and that without private medical aid funding, there is little hope for many South Africans to find themselves lucky enough to afford a prosthetic limb, or even a wheelchair. Travis felt compelled to help those who do not have the support system he has had and are unable to help themselves.
And so, on the 22 March 2021, Rejuvenate SA was born.
Our Mission
The purpose of Rejuvenate SA is to provide mobility to those who do not have the funds or means. We believe that being able to move is a basic human right for every individual. As such our aim is to get people mobile and active by whatever means necessary; whether by providing prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs, crutches, or other mobility aids.

Our Why, Your How
Mobility is about more than movement…
It’s about more children having access to school and education. It’s about more adults having access to employment.
It’s about the little things – a walk or roll in the sunshine. It’s about the big things – the ability to live self-sufficiently.
One prosthetic limb, mobility aid or wheelchair, has the power to transform a life, to break the cycle of poverty, to uplift, to empower, to Rejuvenate.
