Margaret’s Volunteering Visit
October 2017

Margaret is a long time Nasio child sponsor and recently undertook her fourth trip to Kenya, in order to meet the three children she supports.

Here’s what she told us in the run-up to her trip!

“In September this year I will be making my fourth visit to Kenya for Nasio to see my sponsored children. I sponsor two girls and one boy and am looking forward to meeting up with them again. It is lovely to actually meet the youngsters and their family and begin to understand their life.

Last time I was out in 2015 they were working on the new Medical Centre and now I believe it is fully up and running and that will be interesting to see.

It is good to meet up with the staff in the schools and see how important their work is.

Each time I go there is always something new to see – the Spirulina project being the most recent. It is good to meet up with the staff in the schools and in the bungalow and see how important their work is. I think they like to meet up with us too! I am lucky to be able to get out to see first hand the work that is being done and to realise how important how little contributions are to these youngsters.

Sue and I are going out together and we hope to be able to update all the photos of the youngsters and so make our visit worthwhile.”

Understanding The Daily Realities of Poverty

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.
