Celebrating 20 Years of Impact – We’re Egmont Trust 2025 Award Winners!
June 2025

This year, The Egmont Trust marked a momentous milestone: 20 years of transformative work alongside grassroots organisations across sub-Saharan Africa. On 14 May, we gathered in London for our Annual Awards Ceremony, honouring the dedication, innovation and resilience of our remarkable partners.

Over the past two decades, Egmont has supported more than 130 local organisations, delivering over 460 community-led projects in six countries, and reaching more than one million people affected by HIV and poverty.

The Annual Egmont Trust Awards celebrate the very best among these change-makers and we’re very excited to report that The Nasio Trust won Best Performing Organisation!

“Our programme has reached over 20,000 people in just two years. Thanks to Egmont, more young people are getting tested, stigma is falling, and hope is rising.” – Rajab, Peer Educator

Here’s what they had to say about us:

“Nasio’s peer-led education programme in Mumias West is empowering young people to address teenage pregnancy and HIV head-on. Through honest, youth-led conversations and community mentorship, they’re not only reducing infection rates but also dismantling stigma.
Founder Nancy Hunt and peer educator and clinical doctor Rajab joined us at the ceremony to receive the award and share how Egmont’s support has made long-term planning and measurable impact possible.”

We’d like to thank Egmont from the bottom of our hearts for this award and for the unwavering support they have shown the Nasio Trust while partnering with us on these critical projects.

With the 2025 Budget under the new Labour government, a number of fiscal changes have made the case for charitable donations — such as those to The Nasio Trust — stronger than ever.

Changes to the Kenyan Healthcare System Leaves Thousands At Risk

Kenya’s new Social Health Authority (SHA) was meant to expand access to free healthcare. For the communities Nasio serves, it is doing the opposite.

The transition from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to SHA has introduced income-based premiums, digital registration, and phone-dependent systems that many families simply cannot access—particularly women, children, and the poorest households.
