The Booys Family Technology and Engineering Bursary
June 2017

We’re very excited to announce a new bursary being generously offered by Richard and Sue Booys.

The importance of encouraging the children we support into further/higher education cannot be overstated if we’re to achieve our goal of creating self-sufficient communities.

This fantastic bursary will support a student for a course, of up to three years, at a technical college, studying any aspect of engineering or technology, particularly mechanical or building engineering and surveying.

The bursary will be open to a student who has worked hard and adhered to Nasio Trust principles throughout their education. The bursary is available to both boys and girls who are disciplined and have shown commitment and aptitude to study. Although based entirely on merit the bursary is particularly interested in encouraging girls to study engineering.

We’ll keep you updated!

"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."
Saidi Makokha (aged 9 – supported by Nasio)

Jiggers: A Preventable Crisis with Life-Changing Consequences

Jiggers are initially thought to come from Central and South America, the jigger parasite found its way to Africa, likely through human migration. Once it burrows into the skin – most commonly in the feet – it causes severe inflammation, ulceration, and unbearable itching.

Left untreated, the infection can escalate to tetanus, gangrene, or even the loss of limbs.
