Rashidi needs a lift to Embakasi General Hospital - can you help one day a week?
Could you drive Rashidi to Embakasi General Hospital on Thursday? A rota of 6 drivers is forming.
🇰🇪 00572, Embakasi, Nairobi, Kenya1,043 views
Rashidi has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Embakasi General Hospital alone. After an eyesight problem, Rashidi 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 31 km each way.
Rashidi 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.

good luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Embakasi.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Galway
Praying for you. Get well soon. Put this on a community board in Angeles this morning
Thinking of you, Akoth. Wishing Rashidi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless
take care, Akoth. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
