Mobility fund: braille note-taker for Njoroge in Dar es Salaam
Njoroge needs a braille note-taker that the health system won't fund; the cost is $450.

Njoroge lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Dar es Salaam Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Njoroge 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• braille note-taker: $370
• Delivery and set-up: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
