An adapted tricycle for Kioko: help Kioko move freely
Kioko needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇹🇿 Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania719 views
Kioko lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Kinondoni Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Kioko could go to school independently. 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:
• adapted tricycle: $740
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Kiptoo. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Surat.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Kinondoni.
hope things get better soon, Kiptoo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 30 people at work. Greetings from Haarlem.
Get well soon. Thinking of Kinondoni.
