Mbale

Wanjiru lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Mbale General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Wanjiru could speak with the people around her. 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 $450 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $420 • Delivery and set-up: $5 With deep gratitude, Upendo
