Dear Alhassan donors, supporters and believers,
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 walk the talk. We promote and effectively implement inclusion in our foundation. Over 50% of our board and employees are differently abled persons! That makes us the first if not the only DPO (Disabled Persons’ Organization) in Egypt.
We believe that the fastest and most effective way to change people’s perception is showing them the real image of PWDs that they’re not aware of. Our goal is to make the society see that wheelchair users aren’t helpless, dependent and non-productive people. Accordingly, we always insist on having our gatherings in public places so people would see numerous wheelchair users socializing, being active and having fun.
Because we believe in a true message, which is that the true inclusion of all the different societal groups is the best way to achieve a happy and just society.
And because the inclusion of children who use wheelchairs in education is a primary goal of Alhassan Foundation, Therefore, the goal of our previous social campaign was to show the ease of transforming any school into a wheelchair-friendly facility.
Thanks to God and to all the supporters of Alhassan FDN. This campaign was able to achieve great success, which led to the ease of repeating that experience in many other schools.
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. That will help kids on wheelchair in Egypt be more confident and accomplished.
