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 homes and schools that prevent them from carry out their daily activities in a normal manner.

“Accessibility for All” 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

Asmaa’s Story… A New Beginning at the Faculty of Al-Alsun, Kafr El Sheikh University

Asmaa, 38, is a student at the Faculty of Al-Alsun at Kafr El Sheikh University. Years ago, her life changed dramatically after a serious accident when she fell from a balcony. The fall caused fractures in the sixth and seventh vertebrae of her spine, resulting in hemiplegia. It was a difficult turning point that brought many challenges, but Asmaa never lost her determination or her dream of continuing her education.

Despite these challenges, Asmaa insisted on pursuing her university studies. She firmly believes that education is a right for everyone and that disability should never be a barrier to achieving one’s dreams. When she joined the Faculty of Al-Alsun, having an accessible educational environment became essential for her to move around campus and reach her classes with ease.

In support of students like Asmaa, Alhassan Foundation worked on improving accessibility at the Faculty of Al-Alsun at Kafr El Sheikh University. This step aimed to create a more inclusive educational environment for students with disabilities and wheelchair users, ensuring better access within the university campus.

Today, Asmaa continues her academic journey with confidence and determination. Her story is not only about a university student pursuing her education, but also a powerful reminder that accessibility is the first step toward empowerment, and that education should be available to everyone.

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.
