A weekly ride to Mbarara General Hospital for Muthoni
A rota of drivers to Mbarara General Hospital would keep Muthoni on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇺🇬 Mbarara, Western Region, Uganda310 views
Muthoni has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to Mbarara General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Muthoni can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 4 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 33 km each way.
Muthoni is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Dennis. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Mukono.
