RiseUp Egypt-Enabling Wheelers Physically&Socially

Dear all Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,

We still believe that there’s nothing called as a disabled person rather he or she is a differently abled person. We can prove that to you by turning the disability into ability through learning the basic skills of using a wheelchair that permanent wheelchair users should learn to be independent and active persons.

It’s our pleasure to announce that we produced a series of 27 tutorial video series for basic wheelchair skills in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. This series is available online on YouTube for the 1^st time in Arabic for all Arabic speaking countries to provide this service for the underprivileged physically challenged people in this region.

Please check the link below to watch one of the Occupational Therapy episodes about how to climb up or down a ramp or a bridge with a wheelchair:

We are currently trying to secure enough funding to turn this online video series into one to one sessions where we train the wheelchair users in person on how to overcome their mobility issues and become independent.

We 1^st got introduced to this type of therapy (occupational therapy) during Alhassan’s rehabilitation journey in Germany after his accident. Then we decided to bring this amazing method of therapy to Egypt to help wheelchair users through our program (Rise Up) to help them see through their challenge and find hope again that they still can be independent.

Check the link below to see Alhassan now moving independently without assistance, and he also got a scholarship to play wheelchair basketball and study abroad:
