Bakari needs a lift to the Kikuyu Kidney Centre - can you help one day a week?
Bakari needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.
🇰🇪 00952, Kikuyu, Kiambu, Kenya1,314 views
Bakari has been on dialysis for 3 years and until recently drove to the Kikuyu Kidney Centre alone. After an eyesight problem, Bakari 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 20 km each way.
Bakari 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.

Hang in there, Aisha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Savar
