We welcomed the recent BBC news article by Sean Coughlan, ‘Boris Johnson says girls’ education key to ending poverty’, as we have long championed the importance of educating girls in poverty stricken areas.

Nasio’s Christmas 2020 appeal was a great success and many families benefitted from our Christmas boxes which contained a wind-up radio along with a food parcel and an item of clothing for a child.
The wind-up radio was included as a direct response to the Covid-19 situation, providing a way of ensuring that important information reaches our poor, vulnerable communities.
