Help Us To Build a Nasio Library For All

In partnership with Kennington Community, we’re planning to build the very first Nasio community library!

Nasio as a charity provides support through education to children from the age of three but without a library, children have no access to books they can read for pleasure to help stretch their imagination and inspire them!

With the help of our patron Korky Paul (African-born childrens’ book illustrator) and generous help from our corporate sponsors Claret Press and Essential Audiobooks (who have agreed to fund the initial running costs) we’re fundraising to bring the very first community library to Mumia West in Kenya.

We’re raising £26,000 to make this dream a reality!

We’ve raised £16,000 so far and need your help to raise a further £10,000 to furnish the library.

  • £10 will buy a symbolic brick to construct the library.
  • Or why not arrange a simple event like a coffee morning & donate £50?

Not only will your donation help to bring the gift of reading to countless children, but your name will be recorded on a commemorative plaque at the library building too.

Publishing in Africa at the London Book Fair By Katie Isbester

In further support of the Nasio Trust’s Library appeal, Katie Isbester talks about her recent trip to the London Book Fair and a fortuitous discovery!

I didn’t mean to go to the talk. There were some 30,000 people at the London Book Fair and I was supposed to meet at least a few of them. Instead I found myself going to a talk on publishing in Africa because of Nasio Trust. I knew it was trying to build a library, the first of its kind in Western Kenya, and I was rather curious.
