Akoth needs a lift to the Kinondoni Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?
A rota of drivers to the Kinondoni Dialysis Unit would keep Akoth on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania219 views
Akoth has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Kinondoni Dialysis Unit alone. After a foot amputation, Akoth 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 19 km each way.
Akoth 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
