My Nasio Story | Chantelle McDowell

My Nasio story has many twists and turns and has been such an incredible journey so far. I first heard about The Nasio Trust when my eldest daughter, Libby, joined a local youth group who were planning to fundraise and go on the trip of a lifetime to Kenya on a Nasio Trust 10-day volunteering […]

Faye’s Story – 5 Trips & Counting!

It all started January 2013 when I bounced through the doors of my house (aged 15), turned to my Mum and said “I’m going to Kenya”. She looked at me and said “oh really”, I don’t think she quite knew how serious I was being, but I knew that year in October I would be boarding the plane.

Little did I know how much of a difference it would have made the next 7 years of my life. My friend had gone the previous year, she asked me if I would like to go and I knew straight away I had to.

Izaac’s Volunteering Story!

My fundraising started in early 2019 with the Abingdon YOCO group. We did various group fundraisers such as concerts, running 5km and car parking at a local village festival. This was a good way to become familiar with others in my group and created a strong team mentality.

We landed at Kisumu airport and were greeted by our designated Nasio drivers and they were very helpful and friendly all through our drive to the compound, pointing out local traditions and explaining some of them to us. They also pointed out local landmarks.

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.
