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.

Invest in Food Security and Regenerative Agriculture

Agricultural yields dropped by 34% in Kenya due to climate change in this millennium. As a result, food insecurity in Kenya is second only to South Sudan in Sub-Saharan Africa and has led to malnutrition in among children. 16% of households in Nasio’s catchment area are unable to meet their food needs through traditional agricultural activities and livestock rearing.

Despite being a fertile zone and Kenya’s food basket, Mumias West Sub County is reeling from the effects of climate change putting traditional agricultural livelihoods at risk.

Partner With Us to Make Healthy Futures A Reality

Kenya continues to be burdened by life-threatening diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. High infant and maternal mortality due to poor healthcare coverage also mark the local community in Mumias West. Poor local healthcare infrastructure for particularly vulnerable people such as those living with disabilities further exacerbates health outcomes.

Growing food insecurity has also led to the re-emergence of issues such as malnutrition and stunting amongst children under the age of 5.

High unemployment within Kenya further exacerbates the problem rural communities are facing. It is crucial to empower people to become financially independent through hard skills as well as education in basic bookkeeping.
