"They have paid my fees in school. They house me and they provide everything I need."Moses (The orphan that started it all)
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.
We are thrilled to be celebrating a huge milestone — 2026 marks Nasio’s 25th Anniversary
Over the past 25 years, the Nasio Trust has supported thousands of families to break the cycle of poverty. Vulnerable children have been able to attend school, farmers have put food on the table, and thousands of patients have received high-quality care at our medical centre. We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of lasting, transformative change in Western Kenya.
