Social Awareness about Differently Abled in Egypt

Dear Alhassan’s Donors,

We do highly thank you for your last donation. You have participated in the change of people with disabilities’ lives. Social awareness is one of our main core projects. Our target is to change the misconceptions of our society that engraved in their thoughts. The physically challenged people are “differently-abled” in their own ways. We focus on this concept by spreading it via all channels as events, speeches and lectures at schools, universities, and public places.

Last week, we had a great impact on our community. We were able to hold an “awareness campaign” with the British University in Cairo - Egypt. We met up with teaching staff and students, we talked about the importance of changing the misconceptions related to the physically challenged people and focused on the importance of inclusion. We highlighted on the importance of accessibility all around the university campus and beyond as the differently abled person has the right to move around freely without any barriers.

The audience were so much engaged as three of our members were sharing their stories while they were students at universities. Alaa, Rania and Mariam tackled the obstacles they faced while being in college, such as lack of accessibility in campus, lack of inclusion and lack of social awareness. In this part of the campaign, they suggested solutions for these problems. Therefore, social awareness is one of our core projects. Your kind donation will help a lot in changing the society’s mindsets by holding such events for awareness.

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:
