The Booys Family Technology and Engineering Bursary
June 2017

We’re very excited to announce a new bursary being generously offered by Richard and Sue Booys.

The importance of encouraging the children we support into further/higher education cannot be overstated if we’re to achieve our goal of creating self-sufficient communities.

This fantastic bursary will support a student for a course, of up to three years, at a technical college, studying any aspect of engineering or technology, particularly mechanical or building engineering and surveying.

The bursary will be open to a student who has worked hard and adhered to Nasio Trust principles throughout their education. The bursary is available to both boys and girls who are disciplined and have shown commitment and aptitude to study. Although based entirely on merit the bursary is particularly interested in encouraging girls to study engineering.

We’ll keep you updated!

Over the past 25 years, the Nasio Trust has supported thousands of families to break the cycle of poverty.

We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of lasting, transformative change in Western Kenya.

Understanding The Daily Realities of Poverty

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.
