Mwanaisha lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Naivasha Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Mwanaisha could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $600 goes: • braille note-taker: $550 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Apio

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($29 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
