Nurturing Hope, Building Resilience!
At the Nasio Trust, we believe that every child deserves not only access to education and healthcare, but also the chance to grow up with emotional strength and hope. This Children’s Mental Health Week, we are reminded that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health, and that together, we can create safe spaces where children thrive.
This year, as families across the UK consider giving, it’s worth thinking not only of generosity but also of opportunity.
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.
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.
