A School Uniform Thank You!
January 2022

We recently received this wonderful video from Kenya of our Nasio-supported children saying thank you for the Gingham dresses and jumpers donated/knitted by our supporters.

It’s wonderful to see how these small things have improved so many lives.

As you might recall, education is free in Kenya, but children are required to have a school uniform in order to attend school. Consequently the importance of these donations cannot be overstated.

Thank you!

"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.
