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.

 

“Every child has the right to have a happy childhood.”

It may sound like a simple sentence, but for us, it is a belief we carry in our hearts and strive to fulfill every single day.

Abdelrahman is a 17-year-old young man from Alexandria living with Spina Bifida. Despite the challenges he faced, Abdelrahman has shown extraordinary determination, proving that disability can never stand in the way of ambition and success.

His journey withAlhassan foundation began in 2018 when he joined the swimming team. After only four months of training, he won his first bronze medal at the National Championship. In the same year, he achieved first place in a wheelchair race in Ismailia and was honored by the Egyptian Minister of Youth and Sports for his inspiring achievement.

In 2019, Abdelrahman received a customized wheelchair through the support of the foundation, which became a turning point in both his sports and education journey. In 2025, the wheelchair was replaced with a larger one to support his continued growth and success.

Over the years, Abdelrahman achieved remarkable success, winning 55 medals in national championships and Egypt Cup competitions in swimming and wheelchair racing. Alongside his athletic accomplishments, he also excelled academically, ranking third in his school after completing preparatory school in 2025.

In the same year, Abdelrahman joined the first junior wheelchair basketball team at Alhassan Foundation, continuing to expand his dreams and achievements.

Today, Abdelrahman dream of becoming a world champion and raising the Egyptian flag internationally. With the support of Alhassan Foundation and his family — especially his father — he continues his journey with strength, hope, and determination, inspiring everyone around him.

 

We want to thank every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us.  our hope, Please subscribe to the monthly donation option, which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users to achieve their dreams.
