Kamau needs a lift to the Machakos Dialysis Unit - can you help one day a week?

A rota of drivers to the Machakos Dialysis Unit would keep Kamau on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Kamau has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to the Machakos Dialysis Unit alone. After surgery on their hand, Kamau 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 29 km each way. Kamau 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
