Testimonial

“Being a veiled woman using a wheelchair in Egypt, I used to have tough times in Egypt’s public, inaccessible transportation. However, AlHassan’s equipped motorcycle allowed me to avoid the stress and lack of accessibility. Moreover, I used to sell goods at the back of the motorcycle to generate income. Collecting such income, I was finally able to achieve my dream and establish a small business to be financially independent.”

Benefciary 1 – AlQalyobia - Egypt

During the celebration of the “World Disability Day” – December 2016, we delivered 10 motorcycles in the biggest gathering for wheelchair users across the country. We had around 280 wheelchair users from all over the country.

Also we honored the Egyptian Paralympic Team members who represented Egypt in Rio 2016 & we arranged the first marathon in the country for wheelchair users, during our celebration.

Your believing in what we do means a lot for us.

Be sure that we are doing our best to get the best out of your contribution to facilitate all wheelchair users’ life, have a decent & respectful life for of them to be included in the whole society.
