Outreach day with elders in need

Why urgent appeals matter

Every appeal is tied to a real household.

We publish critical appeals when nurses flag destitution during home visits, when community outreach calendars lack transport fuel, when a county asks us to open day-care services faster than fee income alone allows, or when a Futures cohort is ready to launch but starter kits for graduates are unfunded.

No appeal is published without a specific household or programme need behind it. When you give, we allocate your donation within 48 hours — and we will tell you which need it met if you ask us.

Current Critical Needs

These are the needs our field teams have flagged as most urgent this season. Every amount helps.

Caregiver supporting elder with mobility needs Inclusive care

Inclusive Care & Mobility Fund

Nurses have flagged elders who need walking frames, hearing support, home rails, and communication aids — but families cannot afford them. This fund equips households so disability does not become a sentence to stay indoors.

52% fundedTarget: $800

$80 — one complete mobility & communication kit for home care

Support PLWD Care
Destitute elder needing subsidised care Urgent

Destitute Elder Subsidy Fund

Our nurses have flagged eleven elders across three counties who cannot contribute any care fee at all — isolated, malnourished, and without family support. Subsidised day-care is their lifeline.

68% fundedTarget: $660 / month

$60 — one month of subsidised day-care for one elder

Community outreach health day Needed

Sub-County Outreach Day

We have received a request to run a full community health and welfare outreach day in a sub-county we have not yet visited — mapping elder needs, distributing supplies, and connecting households to our programmes.

45% fundedTarget: $500

$500 — full sub-county outreach session

Fund Outreach
Futures cohort starter kits needed Gap to fill

Futures Cohort Starter Kits

The next agribusiness cohort graduates in six weeks. Twenty-four participants have completed training but we do not yet have funding for their starter kits — the seeds, sacks, and pullets that convert their new skills into income on day one.

30% fundedTarget: $960

$40 — one complete starter kit for one graduate

Fund a Kit
Emergency caregiver shift Emergency

Emergency Caregiver Shifts

When a family caregiver falls ill or cannot attend, our on-call caregivers step in to ensure elders are not left alone — but emergency shifts require immediate funding. Help us keep the safety net intact.

55% fundedTarget: $300 / month

$30 — one emergency caregiver shift

Donate
Medical supplies for home care Supply gap

Medical Supplies & Home-Care Kits

Caregivers need gloves, wound dressings, incontinence supplies, blood pressure cuffs, and oral rehydration sachets. Our current supply is running low across three counties — we need to restock before the next home-care cycle.

40% fundedTarget: $800

$80 — one complete caregiver supply kit

County day-care expansion needed Growth

County Day-Care Expansion

Two counties have formally requested AgeWatch day-care services. We have the staff and model. What we need is the anchor funding to open the doors — an anchor gift that reaches approximately 200 additional elders in each county.

18% fundedTarget: $25000

Any amount moves the needle

Scale Care

When I saw that my $60 would cover one elder's entire month of day-care, I stopped overthinking it. I gave. Knowing the exact need it met made me feel like I was actually there.

How it works

From alert to allocation in 48 hours.

Field alert

A nurse, coordinator, or community scout identifies a critical need — a destitute elder, a supply shortage, or a cohort gap — and flags it to our programme team with supporting documentation.

Appeal published

We verify the need, set a funding target, and publish the appeal here and to our donor email list — with the specific cost, programme link, and what happens if the target is met.

Gift allocated

Donations received against the appeal are allocated within 48 hours. If an appeal is overfunded, the surplus goes to the next most urgent need or to our general subsidy pool — and donors are notified.

Donor update

Donors who request it receive a brief update when the need is met — what happened, who benefited, and what came next. No jargon. No mass mailout. A direct note from the team.

Give urgently. Every amount matters.

No gift is too small to be meaningful. $30 covers an emergency shift. $60 covers a month of subsidised day-care. $40 puts starter kit in the hands of a Futures graduate. Give now and your donation moves within 48 hours.
