More Than a Visit - A Lesson in Humanity

By Nour Elmasry | Digital Marketing Specialist

Dear Alhassan donors, supporters, and believers,

Thank you for donating to Egyptian Kids on Wheels project. Your donations play a major role in changing kids’ lives. Helping kids developing a positive and healthy attitude towards their physical challenge is the first step towards success and self-realization.

“Every child has the right to have a happy childhood.”

It may sound like a simple sentence, but for us, it is a belief we carry in our hearts and strive to fulfill every single day.

At Alhassan Foundation, our children are not just training or participating in activities — they are living their childhood to the fullest. They laugh wholeheartedly, race each other in their wheelchairs with excitement, compete, make mistakes, learn, and dream big — just like any other child. Because we truly believe that difference is never a limitation — it is a unique strength.

That is why we always respond to invitations from institutions that genuinely believe in inclusion — not just as a slogan, but as a real practice. We were honored to accept a kind invitation from German Sisters School – Bab El Louk, where our children were welcomed with open hearts and warm smiles.

From the very first moment they entered the school, there was a special energy in the air. Curious eyes met, shy smiles turned into laughter, and hands reached out in friendship. They played together, laughed together, and participated in sports and creative activities side by side. In those moments, no one saw “differences” — they simply saw new friends.

It was truly moving to witness: a child gently helping another push a wheelchair, groups gathering around simple games filled with joyful laughter, and spontaneous words of encouragement echoing across the playground. These small yet powerful moments remind us that inclusion is not just a policy — it is a culture, a mindset, and a shared humanity.

That day was not just a visit. It was a living lesson in acceptance, compassion, and equality — a reminder that when communities open their doors, children lead the way in showing us what true inclusion looks like.

Our sincere thanks and appreciation go to the German Sisters School – Bab El Louk for their generous invitation and warm hospitality, and to every institution that supports our mission to spread awareness and promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in society.

Together, we can build a community that sees ability in every difference.
Together, we ensure that every child — without exception — has the right to a happy childhood.

We want to thank every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us. our hope, Please subscribe to the monthly donation option, which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users to achieve their dreams.

The Champion from Alexandria

By Nour Elmasry | Digital Marketing Specialist

Dear Alhassan donors, supporters, and believers,

Today we are talking about the success story of one of Alhassan Foundation kids.

At just seventeen, Abdelrahman Mohamed from Alexandria carries a spirit far stronger than his age. Born with Spina bifida, he faced challenges that might have stopped him. His story is full of courage, faith, and unshakable will to rise.

In 2018, Abdelrahman joined Alhassan Foundation for Differently Abled Inclusionas part of the swimming team. Only four months into training, he surprised everyone by winning his first bronzemedal at the Egyptian National Championship. Later same year, he took part in his first wheelchair race in Ismailia ( East of Egypt ) , where he not only won the first race but also caught the attention of the Minister of Youth and Sports, who honored him for his remarkable achievement.

The following year, 2019, was a turning point. Abdelrahman received a customized wheelchair through the Alhassan foundation’s that dramatically effected his independence and performance.

In 2025, as he grew, his chair was replaced with a larger one to keep up with his ambitions.

Over the years, Abdelrahman has collected 55 medals in swimming and wheelchair racing at the National Championships and Egypt Cup. But his success doesn’t end in the pool or on the track. He’s also a top student. Ranked third in school . In 2025 he joined the first junior wheelchair basketball team of Alhassan Foundation, adding another chapter to his athletic journey.

Today, Abdelrahman dreams of becoming a world champion—to raise Egypt’s flag high. he also want to prove that no challenge is too great when you have determination, family, and faith. With the support of his parents and Alhassan Foundation, he’s moving steadily toward that dream, one race and one victory at a time.

Small Hands, Colorful Dreams

By Yousra Adel | Marketing Manager

Kids on wheels

Dear Alhassan donors, supporters, and believers,

Through this project, we offer the following services for kids:

1. Self-expression: Art helps children express their feelings and thoughts when they can’t find the words.

2. Confidence-building: When kids create something beautiful, it boosts their self-esteem.

3. Creativity: Art develops imagination and problem-solving skills.

4. Emotional health: Drawing, painting, or crafting can reduce stress and help kids feel calm.

5. Social connection: Art activities can help children connect with others, share ideas, and work in teams.

6. Motor skills and focus: Art improves hand-eye coordination and concentration.

As part of its commitment to supporting children and their artistic talents, Alhassan Foundation organized a pottery painting workshop. Ten children participated in the workshop, expressing themselves through unique and creative pieces that reflect their personalities. The Foundation believes in the importance of art for children, as it helps them to express emotions, build confidence, and develop creative thinking. Art also plays a vital role in enhancing communication skills and emotional intelligence. Through initiatives like this, Alhassan Foundation continues to provide safe and inspiring spaces where children can grow, explore, and shine. Art is not just a hobby — it’s a powerful tool for development and inclusion.

Thank you to everyone who helps us spread awareness of the differently abled in society.

We want to thank 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 through subscribing to the monthly donation option, which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users and their families.
