History & Mary Have A New Home
July 2021

You might recall our emergency appeal earlier this month to fundraise to build a new home for History & Mary.

On the evening of June 17th, strong wind and rains led to the collapse of their mud house. History (aged 10) and Mary (aged 8) and their family were suddenly left with no means to shelter from the terrible weather and had to relocate to the home of their paternal grandmother.

They lost everything.

We’re overjoyed to tell you that we’ve now been able to rebuild their home and furnish it for them too. Thank you so much for your amazing generosity from everyone in the family and from all of us here at Nasio! You have truly changed lives for good.

Check out the videos and photos below to see the impact this emergency appeal has had.

"I had no hope of being educated but now have the chance to access education, food, clothing and medication. I will work hard and dream to become a builder, to construct homes for people who don’t have shelter."

Jiggers: A Preventable Crisis with Life-Changing Consequences

Jiggers are initially thought to come from Central and South America, the jigger parasite found its way to Africa, likely through human migration. Once it burrows into the skin – most commonly in the feet – it causes severe inflammation, ulceration, and unbearable itching.

Left untreated, the infection can escalate to tetanus, gangrene, or even the loss of limbs.
