Our Background - The Nasio Story

The Nasio Trust is a Christian charity operating in the Mumias district of Kakamega Province, Western Kenya supporting children made vulnerable by HIV. We are registered with the UK Charities Commission under registration number 1104542.

In October 2000 in a small village in Western Kenya the late Irene Mudenyo found an abandoned baby in a sugarcane plantation on her farm. The baby aged between 4-6 months, had been lying in the field for at least three days and was malnourished and in desperate need of medical attention.


These experiences lead to the formation in 2003 of The Nasio Trust by Irene's daughters. From humble beginnings, a roadside kiosk providing one meal a day to fifteen local children, The Nasio Trust now runs two purpose built day care centres supporting children from the age of 3 years.

Noah's Ark Day Care Centre in Mumias was completed in November 2005. It currently supports more than 200 children.


St Irene's Day care Centre in Musanda was opened in November 2009. It currently supports more than 100 children but will be able to accommodate more children when fully completed.
