Accessibility for All in Egypt!

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 remodelling 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 we at Alhassan Foundation always aims to serve based on priority benefit the most critical cases, today we are going to show one of the most heart-warming stories of the Accessibility for All project.

Fatma, 44 years old, despite her challenges with polio, managed to become a computer teacher at Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq School in Luxor Governorate.

In 2019, Alhassan Foundation provided Fatma with a wheelchair to facilitate her access to school. Recognizing the ongoing challenges she faced due to the presence of stairs, we continued our support by constructing a ramp, ensuring a more accessible and inclusive learning environment for her.

Alhassan foundation built a ramp at the school, allowing her to move around easily and conduct her classes without difficulty. Despite the challenges of navigating the streets in a wheelchair, she continues to perform her duties as a teacher with great determination.

Fatma is an inspiring example in both her professional and personal life, proving that strong willpower can overcome any obstacle.

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.
