Oxford Green Fair
December 2023

This year’s Green Fair was the 42nd year the Oxfordshire Green Party ran their annual event Green Fair 2023.

All different types of charities, businesses and campaign groups were in attendance.

Nasio were invited as an Oxfordshire based charity and our stall was sponsored by our two great supporters – Chris and Dominique Henderson who do so every year.

Nasio had a specific aim of spreading awareness around our Spirulina Project (that is carbon negative !), the impact it has on our communities and selling the Green Power Spirulina Cookbook. We also sold some ceramic soap stone animals from Kenyan craft markets, library bricks and in general spreading the awareness of Nasio as a whole.

Attendees were Ollie, Divya, Keith Butler and Julia Sadler (one of our recent Dorchester group volunteers).

"I had no hope of being educated but now have the chance to access education, food, clothing and medication. I will work hard and dream to become a builder, to construct homes for people who don’t have shelter."

Jiggers: A Preventable Crisis with Life-Changing Consequences

Jiggers are initially thought to come from Central and South America, the jigger parasite found its way to Africa, likely through human migration. Once it burrows into the skin – most commonly in the feet – it causes severe inflammation, ulceration, and unbearable itching.

Left untreated, the infection can escalate to tetanus, gangrene, or even the loss of limbs.
