The infographic below gives you some insight into the immense scale of the problem, and some of the background that has led to over 1.6 million people in Kenya living with HIV.

"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)
The Nasio Trust has once again partnered with Evidence for Development (EfD), a UK based research organisation, to understand how families in Buchirinya, a village near Musanda where Nasio works, are coping with the daily realities of poverty.
Our latest survey from 2025 revisits the same households surveyed in 2024, using the Individual Household Method (IHM), a unique method that allows practitioners to gain an indepth perspective into rural livelihoods.
On 11 October, something extraordinary happened. The village of Kennington in Oxfordshire officially twinned with Musanda in western Kenya the heart of The Nasio Trust’s community work.
This is the first ever twinning between a village in Oxfordshire and a village in Kenya, and it marks a milestone in our shared story of friendship, compassion, and collaboration.
As many of our supporters may know, we regularly welcome interns from Oxford University to come and work with us for a period at The Nasio Trust.
Over the years – these groups of interns have been responsible for some incredible ideas that have repeatedly helped us take the charity to the next level in the ongoing fight to break the cycle of poverty.
