A weekly ride to the Nairobi Kidney Centre for Atieno
Atieno needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya518 views
Atieno has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Nairobi Kidney Centre alone. After a foot amputation, Atieno 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 27 km each way.
Atieno 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.

take care. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
