Our 20th Anniversary Celebrations!
August 2021

To everyone that joined us on August 1st for our 20th anniversary service and fun day in Dorchester – THANK YOU!

It was so wonderful to see all of you and to be able to celebrate the incredible progress of The Nasio Trust since our inception in 2001.

Better still – thanks to all your generosity – we were able to raise a wonderful sum for our causes in Kenya (details to follow).

Check out a video and some images from the day below and if you’d like to know more about our work check out our achievements video here, and our achievements page here.

"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."

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