"The Nasio Trust has transformed children from nothing to something. Those who were shelter-less now have shelter, those who were not going to school are now going to school."Farida (Social worker)
As many of our supporters may know, we regularly welcome interns from Oxford University to come and work with us for a period at The Nasio Trust.
Over the years – these groups of interns have been responsible for some incredible ideas that have repeatedly helped us take the charity to the next level in the ongoing fight to break the cycle of poverty.
Let’s look back over the previous period and take a moment to celebrate the things you have helped us to achieve.
We've also produced a simple infographic illustrating some of the highlights!
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.
