Project Details

Wosool

Rural areas in Sohag, Beni Suef, and Assiut Governorates suffer from weak quality and sustainability of rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities, due to a shortage of specialized professionals and limited institutional capacities of local organizations.

Through the project “Wosool (Access)”, Ataa Fund works to empower organizations operating in the disability sector to deliver sustainable rehabilitation services.
The project focuses on establishing community-based rehabilitation units, enhancing staff competencies, and building institutional capacities to ensure the delivery of integrated services that respond to the actual needs of persons with disabilities across all age groups.
