Kenya’s Healthcare Is Changing – And You Can Be Part of It

Kenya is making a bold and positive move – transitioning from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the new Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). This shift will give millions of families access to more comprehensive, affordable healthcare than ever before.

We’re fully behind this change. SHIF reflects everything we believe in: preventative, accessible, community-focused healthcare. Our medical teams are working hard to ensure every child and guardian we support stays covered as this new system rolls out. But we need your help to make it happen.

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.

Eunice’s Story

My name is Eunice Juma and am 23 years old. I come from a small village called Buchirinya in Mumias Town.

I am a total orphan after the death of both my parents.My childhood wasn’t a good one because I had to be relocated every now and then to different relatives which means I had to change schools too that affected me in one way or the other but the good part of it is that I went through education despite all the challenges.

Visit to one of Nasio’s projects – The Porridge Kitchen

We were lucky enough on our recent visit to Nasio’s projects to be involved in the new support group for mums with malnourished babies or very young children.

The Porridge Kitchen had recently evolved so that the group had decided to meet at a different home each week.
