This was after the death of my mother and my brother which occurred the same year. The two incidences were indeed a big blow to my entire life. They left me not only hopeless but also homeless after a place I used to call a home was demolished.

Schools are closed in Kenya for the rest of 2020!
The risks of keeping schools closed far outweigh the benefits especially for our children and their families from poor communities.
Children out of school are more likely to suffer abuse, early teenage pregnancies, malnutrition and poor mental health. Many girls will be married off or urged to give up their studies and start work to support the family. With the school closure girls are most at risk.

Why Alison Sponsors Rhoda…
I was first introduced to the Nasio Trust, and the great work it does, back in 2005 through a friend who had just travelled to Kenya with a group of young people from Berinsfield in Oxfordshire. The group of youngsters had worked together through Exit 7, a youth project run by the Nasio Trust, and they travelled to Mumias to help with the building of the Noah’s Ark day care centre.
During their visit they met the first children that were originally cared for in the roadside kiosk and amongst them was Rhoda. John came back and told me about Rhoda and that’s where my journey with Nasio and my relationship with Rhoda began.

Jan was kind enough to share this touching story with us:

Rescue, Restoration and Reintegration – Every Child deserves a loving family!
For Irene, Isaiah and Grace, it has been a story of rescue, restoration and reintegration.
The three children were abandoned by both their parents after being exposed to both domestic violence and negligence. Their feet were badly infected by jiggers, and they often went without food. They were taken in by their great grandmother, but in truth she was simply too old to take good care of the three active children.

Chloe’s Story – Bottom up Aid
Before going out to Kenya I was apprehensive about the work the Charity would be doing.
Often western Charity groups are accused of injecting money into poor areas which only makes them reliant on aid and unable to meet their future needs. They don’t always see the true needs of the locals or work with them and their deep root cultures.
