Accessibility for All in Egypt!

Here we go with our spring report that is as flowery as the month of April ....

Hi everyone :)

We r moving quite positive with our accessible means of transportation project in Egypt; across 27 governorates.

Yes, we serve wheelchair users all over Egypt to be independent & use accessible/private transportation.

Our target is 300 accessble vehicle; we reached approx 67 as we speak & still 233 to go; approx 40 more currently  in process.

We offer them accessible motorcycles, tricycles or TokTok to be able for them to be mobile & live a normal day to day life with their daily commitments.

2 month ago we visited Alexandria & all the governorates around it; served more then 48 case.

This month - April - we will be visiting upper Egypt - Luxor; with an expected nr of 130 beneficiary specially after the very bad conditions there due to lack of Tourism. People do need your & our support.

We ve been receiving very generous donations from ur side. We reached $21K + yet we need more coz the cases are A LOT I ve to admit.

Plz visit our FB page, I promise you will be proud of what u ll see. It will take u 2 - 4 minutes to ve a quick overview. I do encourage u to do that. It will give u better insight.

Dear friends, family & donors around the globe,

Hope all is well at ur end. Wishing u all & myself a beautifull 2016.

Throughout 2015 in Alhassan Foundation we were trying our very best to get approvals & enough cash to import an accessible bus to Egypt in order to provide a "pilot" solution for humans who are physically challanged ...

Day by day as we were proceeding with endless paperwork & documentation, we came up with a decision that until we finalize all what is needed to get a bus, we need to come up with a more practical solution that solves transportation problems for humans who are physically challanged & ve no accessible means of mobiling NOW.

Accordingly, after an intensive market study, we signed a contract with z larget factory in Egypt that provides local accessible motorcycles (transportation only)  & terecycles (can be used for transportation as well as a business project).

We also currently have an agreement with the ministry of social solidarity who provide us with cases across all Egypt's 27 governorates who are extremly poor, physically challanged & are in desperate need to give them a hand.

For a start, we will proceed with 50 accessible vehicle. 25 motorcycle that costs approx. $1000 per item & 25 terecycle that costs approx. $1500 per item (including taxation, logistics; paperwork & operations)

This project is very suitable for companies as part of their CSR activities; falls under ZAKAT for individual muslims who want to pay their yearly contribution & also for every person around the globe who believs in humanity & the right for ppl to live with z bare minimm dignaty.

We as Alhassan Foundation are very optimistic regarding our  "Accessible Ride" project & looking forward that you will be sharing with us to be able to reach our target nr within the coming 6 month God willing.

Appriciate sharing our news with ur frieends, family & loved ones.  Kindly visit our FB page. I asure you, you will be happy seeing that such a foundation exisits in Egypt and the Middle East.

Warm wishes & love to u all

May
