Dear Alhassan donors, supporters and believers,
One of the biggest challenges facing the permanent user of a wheelchair is the lack of accessibility in their home that prevent them from carry out their daily activities in a normal manner.
“Accessibility for All in Egypt” project helps wheelchair users to overcome the challenges they face practicing their daily activities like going to their schools, workplaces or running their errands independently due to lack of accessibility.
This project aims to offer services like accessible rides and remodeling homes, schools and public places to be wheelchair-friendly to achieve inclusion and to enable wheelers to have equal opportunities in work, education, sports, etc.
One of the biggest problems facing the wheelchair users in Egypt is the lack of accessibility in Schools.
And because Alhassan Foundation always aims to serve based on priority benefit the moat critical cases, today we are going to show one of the most heart-warming stories of the Accessibility for All project.
Saif, 11 years old, suffers from brain atrophy and is an integration student at Dr. Youssef Ismail Preparatory School.
He uses the electric chair constantly, and the installation of a ramp in his school was an indispensable need for him to be able to continue in school, due to the difficulty of carrying the electric chair.
After conducting several awareness-raising sessions for the school administration by the FDN team of experts, the school administration agreed to allow Alhassan Foundation to install a ramp in the school to help Saif ride his electric chair to his class with ease.
Eventually, we want to thank each and every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us in our cause, our hope, our dream. You can do that through subscribing to a monthly donation option, which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users and their families.
