Rides to dialysis three times a week for Chebet in Dar es Salaam

Chebet needs dialysis three times a week and has lost the ability to drive; volunteer drivers can each take one day.

Chebet has been on dialysis for 4 years and until recently drove to the Dar es Salaam Kidney Centre alone. After a minor stroke, Chebet 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 32 km each way. Chebet 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
