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.
Rise Up project changes the life of people from darkness to light. Mohamed is 27 years old. His life has been totally changed after his car accident. When his accident occurred, he was 15 years old, he became Quadriplegic. This means that his body became almost totally paralyzed. He was not able to move his body. Mohamed thought that his life had been stopped and nothing can be changed!
After a while, He started to think positively. He started to focus on how he could live his life independently. He lost weight, he was 170 kilos and now he is 70 kilos. After joining our foundation Alhassan, he joined our Rise Up project. He started his fitness program and became an athlete. First, he became a trainer in our Rise Up program to help his peers to overcome their obstacles and become independent and sociable. He joined the national Paralympics and he won his first champion he participated in. He graduated from Marketing and International Business. Now, Mohamed, is one of our team member working at Alhassan Foundation. He is financially and socially independent.
