Dear Alhassan’s Donors,
We do highly thank you for your last donation. You have contributed to the change of physically challenged people’s life. Rise Up project is one of our very essential projects. It aims to provide occupational therapy and everyday activities and exercises to maintain the health of the body of the physically challenged person. We have our Youtube channel where we upload these training and workouts videos for maintaining the health and strength of the body. This leads to physical independence where the physically challenged person becomes more active and sociable.
Kindly check Rise up Occupational Therapy videos in the link below:

Let’s tell you about one of our beneficiaries who have a great benefit from this project. Through your support, her life has been changed to the better. Rania is 27 years old lady. She suffers from Muscle Atrophy. This medical condition leads to weakness in the muscles and stamina. Rania’s life has changed a lot after following up our channel. At the beginning, it was very difficult for her to climb up a ramp with her wheelchair, move from her wheelchair to the car and to do wheelies* (hold her wheelchair up with the front wheel raised off the ground) to overcome some street bumps.
By now, Rania is becoming more independent and sociable. She can move easily on her own. After practicing the exercises which she watched on Youtube, now she can climb up ramps, move around on her own and get in the car without any assistance. Her dream is becoming true as she always dreamt of “Dancing” using her wheelchair. She started taking dancing classes and started with “Salsa Dance”. Your support and donations changes the life of the physically challenged people.
Lately, we won an honorary award of Zero Project Conference 2019 to acknowledge that we are sustainable in our mission and vision and we are always seeking for the betterment of life for physically challenged people through changing their disability into ability. This Award ceremony was held in the UN premises in Vienna which focused on Independent Living and Political Participation. This honorary award is not only for us, it is for you as well our donor. Congratulations for all of us. We encourage you to continue supporting us and staying loyal donor to our causes through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option. That will help wheelchair users in Egypt be more independent and successful. Please visit our Facebook page to read other success stories:
