A pair of hearing aids for Nafula: help Nafula move freely

A pair of hearing aids would give Nafula independence - we're $800 away.

Nafula lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Naivasha Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Nafula could join the school sports day. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $800 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $650 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $75 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Simiyu

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nafula.

    • Simiyu Paul HamisiOwnerAnswer

      Pair of hearing aids is $650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
