Children’s Mental Health Week – 9th- 15th February
February 2026

Nurturing Hope, Building Resilience!

At the Nasio Trust, we believe that every child deserves not only access to education and healthcare, but also the chance to grow up with emotional strength and hope. This Children’s Mental Health Week, we are reminded that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health, and that together, we can create safe spaces where children thrive.

Nurturing Hope, Building Resilience!

Why Mental Health Matters

Children facing poverty, loss, or trauma often carry invisible burdens. Without support, these struggles can affect learning, relationships, and future opportunities. Early intervention through counselling, mentorship, and community care helps children to build resilience and self-worth.

Our Commitment

The Nasio Trust integrates mental health awareness into our programmes by:

  • Offering counselling and psychosocial support in schools and communities.
  • Training caregivers and teachers to recognise signs of distress.
  • Creating safe, nurturing environments where children feel heard and valued.

How You Can Help

This week is not just about awareness, it’s about action. You can:

  • Sponsor a child: Give the gift of access to support for their emotional wellbeing. Donate here >
  • Make a general donation: Help fund a counselling session. Donate here >
  • Support our community programmes that empower families to talk openly about mental health.
  • Share this message to break the stigma and remind others that mental health is everyone’s responsibility.

Together, we can ensure that no child suffers in silence. Let’s nurture hope, build resilience, and champion mental wellbeing for every child.

Changes to the Kenyan Healthcare System Leaves Thousands At Risk

Kenya’s new Social Health Authority (SHA) was meant to expand access to free healthcare. For the communities Nasio serves, it is doing the opposite.

The transition from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to SHA has introduced income-based premiums, digital registration, and phone-dependent systems that many families simply cannot access—particularly women, children, and the poorest households.
