We are thrilled to be celebrating a huge milestone — 2026 marks Nasio’s 25th Anniversary
Over the past 25 years, the Nasio Trust has supported thousands of families to break the cycle of poverty. Vulnerable children have been able to attend school, farmers have put food on the table, and thousands of patients have received high-quality care at our medical centre. We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of lasting, transformative change in Western Kenya.
The Nasio Trust has once again partnered with Evidence for Development (EfD), a UK based research organisation, to understand how families in Buchirinya, a village near Musanda where Nasio works, are coping with the daily realities of poverty.
Our latest survey from 2025 revisits the same households surveyed in 2024, using the Individual Household Method (IHM), a unique method that allows practitioners to gain an indepth perspective into rural livelihoods.
On 11 October, something extraordinary happened. The village of Kennington in Oxfordshire officially twinned with Musanda in western Kenya the heart of The Nasio Trust’s community work.
This is the first ever twinning between a village in Oxfordshire and a village in Kenya, and it marks a milestone in our shared story of friendship, compassion, and collaboration.
