Dear Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,

In Alhassan FDN we work day and night so that we can provide the physical and financial independence for all wheelchair users in Egypt.

These customized wheelchairs are tailor-made for each case based on his/her weight, height, health condition and needs. It’s made with medically approved materials, and components. It’s also provided with cushions to resist pressure sores & any possible skin irritations. Using customized wheelchairs made wheelers’ daily lives so much easier; consequently, that boosted their self-esteem and physical independence.

We at AlHassan Foundation always aim to be present to serve our members everywhere and in every governorate in Egypt.

And I want to assure you that we will always be with you, no matter the distances. AlHassan Foundation will always support all wheelchair users in Egypt.

Here is a great example of perseverance and defiance. Hamada is 30 years old male, from Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, suffers from a paraplegia as a result of an accident.

Despite his injury, he runs his own shop, and Alhassan Foundation delivered him a customized wheelchair so that he could run his work freely and independently.

Moreover, Hind is a 39-year-old woman from Sharkia Governorate, who has a Bachelor's degree in the fundamentals of religion major, and she suffers from a paraplegia also.

After supplying Hind with a customized wheelchair, she was able to achieve physical independence and work as an Arabic language teacher to achieve her financial independence.

We are always proud of AlHassan Foundation’s members for their determination and willpower.

We want to thank each and every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us in our cause, our hope, our dream. You can support us through subscribing to be a recurring donor which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users and their families.

Ahlam in her cloth-tailoring shop

Dear Alhassan donors, supporters, and believers

At Alhassan Foundation, we do our best to overcome the various challenges that face the differently-abled individuals through our eight developmental projects. The “Source of Income” project focuses on the financial independence aspect in wheelers’ lives.

Our project helps not only the differently-abled individuals but also plays a major role in improving their entire families’ lives. To address the different beneficiaries’’ needs and backgrounds, the project branches into three subprojects:

1- Funding SMEs

2- Occupational training

3- Employment and networking

Through your donations in the past months, we were to provide financial independence and physical independence for many members of AlHassan Foundation. These projects not only change wheelers’ lives, but they also impact their entire family's lives and improves their financial status.

Here is a wonderful story that shows the difference that AlHassan Foundation can make for its members who use wheelchairs, Ahlam is a 46-year-old lady from Qalyubia, a mother of three, and her husband is on a pension. Despite the difficult living conditions and her physical challenge having polio since her childhood, she enrolled all her three children in school.

AlHassan Foundation provided her with a source of income project so that she could support her family, and she started running her own project, which is a cloth-tailoring business.

We are so proud that she is one of the role models for the members of the foundation.

I would like to remind you all that without your support and your generosity, it would have been impossible for any of this to be achieved, or for that smile to be drawn on the face of this family.

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.

If you have any job opportunities or know someone who can help with employment the wheelchairs users please don’t hesitate to contact us at recruitment@alhassan-fdn.org

However, she did not succumb to this injury, and decided to help her family, which has limited income. Abeer's family consists of her father and mother, in addition to 9 sisters and a brothers, her father works as a farmer with a daily wage.

Therefore, she insisted on helping her family by utilizing her talent in embroidery and tailoring clothes, Abeer did not only think about herself and her difficult circumstances, but she took upon herself her entire family, and this is the best evidence that her will and determination can overcome any obstacle.
