Independence for Achieng: adapted tricycle
Help Achieng get an adapted tricycle so She can go to school independently.
🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya553 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Kasarani Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• adapted tricycle: $1,150
• Delivery and set-up: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
