Dear Alhassan donors, supporters, and believers,

Thank you for donating to Egyptian Kids on Wheels project. Your donations play a major role in changing kids’ lives. Helping kids developing a positive and healthy attitude towards their physical challenge is the first step towards success and self-realization.

 

Through this project, we offer the following services for kids:

  1. A customized wheelchair that fits the injury and needs of each kid.
  2. Physical and psychological rehabilitation that aims to change their mindset. Not only for the kids, but also for their parents.
  3. Providing schools and homes with the necessary accessibility which allowing the transportation of the kids.
  4. Recreational events and awareness campaigns throughout the year that encourages networking and exchanging experiences.
  5. Sports programs in six different sports and numerous arts workshops.

Some people may think that kids using wheelchairs have limited capabilities as a result of their injury.

But here are examples that assure you that if these kids have the right tools, they can be just like all other kids.

Mariam is an 8-year-old girl from Alexandria who suffers from spina bifida. Some were questioning her ability to enroll in school, but after providing her with customized wheelchair, she became able to go to school on a regular basis, she is now in the second grade of primary school.

Also, Youssef is an 11-year-old boy from Cairo who suffers from paraplegia. He just needed a customized wheehchair so that he could go to school on a regular basis.

Now Youssef is in the first year of middle school. We are proud of these children and we are proud to call them AlHassan Foundation's kids.

 

I want to tell you frankly that our kids’ smile worth a lot.

Here are some pictures that show the smile on the faces of these children after receiving their customized wheelchair.

We’re forever proud that we’re part of these kids’ journeys. Witnessing the changes these kids and their parents go through is so precious and indescribable.

We want to thank every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us in our case, our hope, our dream through subscribing to monthly donation which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users and their families.
