Birtukan needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Birtukan independence - we're $550 away.

Birtukan lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Gondar General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Birtukan could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $550 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $460
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
