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.
Let’s look back over the previous period and take a moment to celebrate the things you have helped us to achieve.
