A few years ago, the mention of a kidney transplant meant a flight overseas for both the donor and the recipient, as well as an expensive budget that included air tickets, lodging, and hospital bills.

Without at least Sh2 million, one would be forced to raise funds, even selling property or holding a fundraiser, to cover the exorbitant cost of the transplant.
