President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s Speech at the Differently Abled Celebration


‘In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful’

My sons and daughters of determination, honorable guests

May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you

At the outset, I would like to welcome the families of our sons and daughters of determination and emphasize my enduring feelings of pride and appreciation for the persistence of our annual gathering, which has become a significant tradition and a prominent annual event that underscores Egypt’s commitment to caring for its sons and daughters and providing them with prospects for progress and prosperity, driven by the belief that the homeland’s greatest wealth lies in its human resources, primarily its sons and daughters of determination.

Allow me, in this regard, to confirm my great pride in the amazing successes you have achieved. This proves, once again, the authenticity of the Egyptian character and its ability to challenge hardships, whatever they are, and find opportunities from within the challenges and blessings from the heart of adve
rsities. We are all aware of the bright examples of great Egyptians, who have created, with their solid determination, progress and pride for their country in sciences, literature, arts, sports and others.

I would also like to seize the opportunity to express great appreciation for the families of our sons and daughters of determination, who believed in the precious wealth they have and devoted a great portion of their lives and full capacities, fueled by confidence in their sons and daughters’ potential to make a difference in this homeland, which will only progress by the power of its sons and daughters of determination.

I would also like to extend gratitude to civil society organizations operating in this field, which stood united with the government in their efforts, offering an honorable, full-fledged national model to provide all support and backing for our sons and daughters of determination.

Honorable attendees,

Our world and region are currently facing numerous challenges and crises, necessitatin
g unity, resilience, and action. We have chosen the path of patience, sacrifice, and confidence in our abilities, inspired by the determination and success of our people, especially our children.

In this context, I have directed the government to continue working on its programs that support the people of determination and build on the successes achieved over the past years mainly, increasing facilities and services for people of determination, issuing integrated service cards and cash support, and promoting their employment in government agencies, including leadership positions. Additionally, a law has been passed to support the “Differently Abled” Fund.

Sons and Daughters,

In conclusion, I would like to express to you my deepest appreciation and respect for your determination, will, and struggle. I am delighted to be with you today and wish you all the best and success.

May God grant us success for the good of our noble country.
