Our Goal: Reach 1,000 Elderly Women Unable to Afford Life-Saving Medications by 2027

Ann and her Mom at a Function in Nyeri, Kenya

On April 28, 2020, Ann reached out to our Kenyan office, desperately seeking assistance to afford the medication needed to keep her mother alive. Her mother was battling several life-threatening illnesses, and Ann and her siblings had sold nearly everything to cover the medical expenses. Despite initial signs of improvement, the inconsistent access to medication, caused by the high cost of the medications beyond their financial capability, was jeopardizing her progress.

The prescribed medication, crucial for her survival, must be taken for life. Ann, a single mother of four and a clerk at a hospital in Nyeri, Kenya, could never afford the $150 monthly cost of the medication on her salary. Upon reviewing her paycheck, it was clear that affording the medication would leave her with barely enough to survive and care for her children.

In response, the Tom Pouo Foundation committed to covering the monthly cost of $110 for Ann's medication without fail. To ensure a steady supply, we partnered with a pharmacy in Nairobi, securing the medication at a discounted price of $110 instead of the initial price of $150 with a yearly guarantee.

Over the past four years, our commitment has produced remarkable results. Initially, Ann's mother struggled to speak, walk, or perform daily activities. Thanks to consistent medication, she has gradually improved. Today, she can speak fluently, walk, and independently perform daily activities. She has even started a small business crafting beautiful African hand-woven Kiondo (Sisal Bags).

Below is an image of Ann's mother's work, showcasing vibrant and durable Kiondo bags. The Swahili word for a kiondoo is 'chondo,' plural 'vyondo'.
 

We are incredibly proud of the transformation we have seen, but our mission still needs to be completed. We aim to assist more women like Ann's mother in living better lives. We welcome you to join our cause by donating to our foundation, allowing us to expand our reach and make a more significant impact.

Total Donation to Ann's Mother Medication for the last 4 years:

$110/month * 12 months/year * 4 years = $5,280

We aim to reach 1000 women facing life-threatening conditions that can be controlled with a constant supply of medication by the end of the year 2027.

Your support can make a life-changing difference. Together, we can continue to provide vital medication and hope for those in need. Please donate today.
