Dear Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters
From the heart of Esna in Upper Egypt, a dream began to walk again.
Ahmed, an ambitious agricultural engineer, was living his life steadily until 2017—when everything suddenly changed.
He was diagnosed with muscleatrophy, and as time passed, his body weakened. Soon, he found himself confined within the walls of his home, watching life pass by from a distance.
But destiny had written a new beginning for him.
When Alhassan Foundation entered his life, it wasn’t just about providing him with a wheelchair—it was about giving him back movement, life, and hope.
Because at Alhassan Foundation, we believe that a wheelchair is not a luxury, but a basic right.
Through our specialized team, we carefully select the most suitable wheelchair for each individual, based on their unique needs and the environment they live in.
In 2024, he was provided with a electric wheelchair— that gave him even more independence and freedom to move, work, and live life fully again.
He tried many jobs, always searching for a purpose bigger than himself.
When he became the coordinator for the “Decent Life” initiative in Luxor Governorate, he proved—to himself and to everyone around him—that determination is always stronger than disability.
And when his mission there ended, he returned to his first love and lifelong passion: agriculture and tomato drying .
Today, Ahmed is the Director of the Agricultural Crops Drying Station at international Company, leading a team of about 80 people.
Every day, he works under the hot Upper Egyptian sun with a smile on his face and hope in his heart.
Even though the sandy soil drains his wheelchair batteries quickly, it never drains his determination.
Ahmed dreams of one day establishing his own company for agricultural production and export, and he believes that the dream that once stopped—has now come back stronger than ever.
He always ends his story with words that carry deep gratitude:
“Alhassan Foundation was the beginning… and I’ll always be grateful for every step I’ve taken since.”
