How a medicine gift reaches a patient

From choosing a medicine to the moment a pharmacy hands it over: every step of a Tibiwa gift, explained.

When you gift medicine on Tibiwa, you are not sending money to a person. You are paying for a specific medicine that a licensed pharmacy will hand over. Here is what happens.

  1. You choose a medicine or a kit. Every item shows its real pharmacy price in Kenyan shillings.
  2. You choose who it goes to. Pick a verified patient, or let us send it where it is needed most.
  3. You pay securely. Use M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo or a card through Paystack.
  4. The pharmacy is paid. Once the patient’s prescription is fully covered, the partner pharmacy prepares it.
  5. The patient collects. They show a pickup code at the pharmacy and take their medicine home.

How patients are verified

Every patient applies with their prescription. A partner checks it before their page goes live, so you can see exactly what they need and why.

Following your gift

Each gift has its own status: paid, fully funded, ready at the pharmacy and dispensed. If you create a free account, you can follow every step from your dashboard.
