Help Us Fund Healthcare for Families we support in Kenya – Just £5 Makes a Massive Difference

For the time being, the centre can only meet basic medical needs, and children are often referred to bigger hospitals for further care. Families who live further away also find themselves seeking care at other hospitals because of transport limitations. Very few of our Nasio families can afford medical insurance, so these hospital trips cost can be cripplingly expensive!

From NHIF to SHIF: A New Chapter in Caring for Families

Better Healthcare for Every Kenyan

Kenya is making a bold and positive move – transitioning from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to the new Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). This shift will give millions of families access to more comprehensive, affordable healthcare than ever before.

SHIF expands coverage beyond just hospital stays. It includes outpatient care, treatment for chronic conditions, vital vaccinations, and preventive services – ensuring no family is left behind.

What This Means for the Nasio Trust

We’re fully behind this change. SHIF reflects everything we believe in: preventative, accessible, community-focused healthcare. Our medical teams are working hard to ensure every child and guardian we support stays covered as this new system rolls out.

But we need your help to make it happen.

just £5 is enough to provide SHIF health insurance for an entire family

Just £5 Covers a Whole Family

Yes, really – just £5 is enough to provide SHIF health insurance for an entire family. That means access to doctors, medicine, vaccinations, and treatment for illnesses – without fear of unaffordable bills.

Your support ensures children stay healthy, parents get the treatment they need, and communities grow stronger.

For the cost of a coffee and a snack, you could fund:

  • A month of healthcare cover for a vulnerable family
  • Access to life-saving treatment for a child
  • Peace of mind for a guardian struggling to make ends meet

Help Us Reach Every Family

We’re asking our supporters to give £5 today, or set up a monthly donation, to ensure no family is excluded from this life-changing health reform.
£5. One family. Real impact.

Be part of the solution. Be part of the transformation. Be part of a healthier future for Kenya.

Donate now and help us provide SHIF coverage where it’s needed most.
