For many families, the hardest part of a long-term illness is not one big bill. It is the same bill, every month, with no end date.
Small amounts, every month
A medicine that costs a few hundred shillings a pack can become thousands once you add the other medicines on the same prescription. Over a year, it becomes a large sum.
What happens when money runs short
- Doses get skipped or stretched to make a pack last longer.
- People wait until they feel very unwell before going back to the clinic.
- Families borrow, and the loans add their own costs.
How gifts help
On Tibiwa, a gift pays for a specific medicine at its pharmacy price, so the patient receives exactly what is on their prescription. Monthly gifts make sure treatment continues.
Meet the patients waiting for medicine and gift the exact medicine they need.
