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.

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.
