Help Us Expand Our Medical Centre With The Power Of #Nasio20

We’d like to offer a huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone that supported our Nasio Christmas appeal.

You have helped to make the festive period very special for families in need in western Kenya.

As you will recall – each £15 donation allowed us to give a Nasio family a festive meal on Christmas Day and to purchase a special festive outfit for the children.

In the end we raised enough money to buy over 300 Christmas meal packages for families in need.

It’s hard to express what an amazing difference your support has made to those families, but the picture of the children enjoying their festive outfits may go some way to demonstrating the happiness the appeal has brought.

Thanks also to all of you that upgraded your donation to support the expansion of our medical centre. Your extra gift really will save lives for many Christmases to come.

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.
