Ollie’s Volunteering Diary: Visiting a Spirulina Farm
August 2023

In summer 2023, Ollie Passingham spent time volunteering with the Nasio Trust in Kenya. In our “Ollie’s Volunteering Diary” series he shares key parts of his experience. Read more below:

The Nasio Trust’s Spirulina Project is a remarkable initiative aimed at combating malnutrition and promoting food security.

The project develops nutrient-rich spirulina algae and distributes it as a supplement to vulnerable individuals, including the children at the Nasio schools, who love it!

Not only does it address malnutrition, but it also fosters economic sustainability by involving the local community in the cultivation and distribution process.

This story is listed in: Volunteer Stories

"I’m really grateful to the Nasio Trust programme because it is really changing lives for good. The Nasio Trust has really changed this community and really changed my life..."
Eunice (supported for 6 years – now volunteering for Nasio)

Kenya’s Healthcare Is Changing – And You Can Be Part of It

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.

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.
