There are many places that not disability-friendly, causing wheelchair users not getting the same access as normal human generally do. This is very concerning, especially according to data, there are at least 12.15 percent of total Indonesia population with disabilities. This number is not small and many of them are still active to work and do normal activities in daily basis. On the aspect of prayer, there’s a phenomenon of how wheelchair users are very difficult to have access to ablution site, especially in mosques and other places of worship in public places or in private. The existing terrain and ablution site are not suitable for wheelchair users. From this analysis, it can be seen that the need of design for wheelchair users to access wudhu portably, everywhere and anywhere without struggling to get water access, especially praying is an activity that is done everyday.
