Mukasa needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Mukasa needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $450.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Nairobi Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• pair of hearing aids: $360
• Delivery and set-up: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.
