أُصيب محمد رزق في طفولته بمرض شلل الأطفال مما أفقده القدرة على المشي منذ الصِغر، ولكنه بإرادة قوية وخيال واسع أوجد وسائل متنوعة للتنقل والمشاركة في الحياة، وإن كان قد حُرم من حقه في التعليم والحصول على وظيفة حكومية مثل العديد من ذوي الإعاقات الجسدية والذهنية بمصر.

استضاف رزق «مدى مصر» ببيته بقرية شِنرة بطنطا في محافظة الغربية، فشاركنا قصصه واصطحبنا معه في رحلاته اليومية ولقاءاته العائلية والمهنية، مقدمًا لقطة من حياته وأحلامه المستقبلية.

Mohamed Rizk was infected with poliovirus as a child, which cost him his ability to walk at an early age. Determined and resourceful, Rizk overcame many of the systemic and societal barriers faced by Egyptians with disabilities, including lack of access to formal education and adequate employment opportunities.

Rizk hosted Mada Masr in his home in Shenira village, east of the Nile Delta city of Tanta. He shared his story, introduced us to his friends and brought us along to his work as a tuk tuk driver, offering us a glimpse into his life, the challenges he faces and his future aspirations.
