A weekly ride to the Bahir Dar Dialysis Unit for Habtamu
Habtamu needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia510 views
Habtamu has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Bahir Dar Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Habtamu 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 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 29 km each way.
Habtamu 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.
