Rides to dialysis three times a week for Henok in Bahir Dar
A rota of drivers to the Bahir Dar Kidney Centre would keep Henok on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.

Henok has been on dialysis for 2 years and until recently drove to the Bahir Dar Kidney Centre alone. After surgery on their hand, Henok 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 23 km each way.
Henok 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.
