Social Awareness about Differently Abled in Egypt

Dear Alhassan Donors, Supporters, and Believer

Thank you for donating for our initiatives for raising “Social Awareness about Differently Abled in Egypt” project. This project is mainly what our mission and vision are about. We believe that by changing the mentality of our community and how they perceive physically-challenged people, we will spend less time and effort demanding wheelchair users’ basic human rights; it’ll be a given to consider their needs.

We take pride in the role of Alhassan Foundation in promoting the culture of customized wheelchairs and improving the quality of services provided to persons with disabilities.

Dr. Hend Eid, Professor of Special Education at the Faculty of Education, Helwan University, and a representative of Alhassan Foundation, delivered the training during the second course on wheelchair assessment and fitting. The program was organized by the Ministry of Social Solidarity over the course of three days, under the supervision of the General Administration for Support and Empowerment.

The course brought together 25 trainees from civil society organizations representing several governorates, including Cairo, Giza, Qalyubia, Minya, Assiut, Qena, Beheira, Sharqia, Menoufia, Damietta, Suez, and Matrouh.

Throughout the training, participants learned about different types of wheelchairs and the scientific methods for assessing and fitting them. They were also trained to evaluate the needs of beneficiaries with precision—ensuring that the chosen wheelchair matches the user’s size, weight, degree of disability, and intended usage.

With these efforts, Alhassan Foundation continues to build the capacities of civil society organizations, while strengthening the independence and social inclusion of persons with disabilities across Egypt.

Thank you dear donors for your donations; your support is what enables us in our mission so we urge you to continue supporting our cause and stay loyal donors to our cause through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option.
