1 -This feature helps patients, families, families, community based organizations, faith based organizations and groups raise medical funds quickly during emergencies or long-term treatment — and enables well-wishers to support transparently.
2 -
3 -== (a) The problem being addressed ==
4 -
5 -In Kenya, health emergencies can become financial emergencies:
6 -
7 -* Sudden hospitalization
8 -* Surgery or ICU bills
9 -* Cancer treatment costs
10 -* Complications during pregnancy
11 -* Long-term medication needs
12 -
13 -Often families:
14 -
15 -* raise funds late (when the bill is already overwhelming)
16 -* lack a trusted, organized way to ask for support
17 -* struggle to keep supporters updated
18 -* face stress and stigma during a difficult time
19 -
20 -== (b) How Amicus solves it ==
21 -
22 -=== Create a support request quickly ===
23 -
24 -A patient (or caregiver) can create a fundraising request with:
25 -
26 -* the need (what the funds are for)
27 -* evidence (optional documents)
28 -* target amount
29 -* timeline
30 -
31 -=== Supporters contribute easily ===
32 -
33 -Well-wishers can contribute using familiar payments (e.g., M-PESA and other options depending on setup).
34 -
35 -=== Transparency and accountability ===
36 -
37 -Amicus helps keep fundraising organized by:
38 -
39 -* tracking contributions
40 -* keeping supporters updated
41 -* helping ensure the funds are used for the intended care purpose (where applicable)
42 -
43 -=== From emergency support to ongoing care ===
44 -
45 -Fundraising is not just about money — it’s about:
46 -
47 -* continuing care
48 -* ensuring follow-ups happen
49 -* helping a patient stay connected to clinics and care teams
50 -
51 -== (c) Value proposition (cost, convenience, collaboration, Ubuntu) ==
52 -
53 -=== Cost ===
54 -
55 -* Helps close the gap between urgent care needs and available cash
56 -* Can prevent delays in treatment that make conditions worse (and more costly)
57 -
58 -=== Convenience ===
59 -
60 -* Fundraising and updates can be managed through simple workflows
61 -* Supporters have an easy way to contribute and stay informed
62 -
63 -=== Collaboration ===
64 -
65 -* Patients, caregivers, donors, and providers can coordinate better
66 -* Reduces confusion and duplicate requests
67 -
68 -=== Ubuntu / communal support ===
69 -
70 -This is the heart of the feature:
71 -
72 -* It makes it easy for Kenyans and well-wishers to stand with someone in need
73 -* It strengthens community care — //“I am because we are”// — in a practical, transparent way.
