As our regular supporters will be aware, we’ve recently begun work to help the people of Oldonyosambu in Tanzania whose lives have been blighted by fluoride in their water.
Researchers at the University of Bath have come up with a simple colour changing test that will quickly allow water to be tested for excessive amounts of fluoride, and The Nasio Trust is going to help them field test it.

One of the things that had the most impact on me in Kenya was my visits to St Mary’s hospital.
On my first visit I was with the whole group and we handed out bread and milk to all the mothers and their newborn babies. We did this because if we hadn’t, no one else would have and they might have gone hungry that day, even though they had just given birth.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Mark San on the 4th July 2017.
He was chairman of the trustees until he resigned due to ill health in 2012. Mark's warmth, spiritual insight and guidance helped plan the initial concept for child care in Kenya and he used the same qualities to assist Nancy and Jonathan with the formation of the Nasio Trust.

In recent decades, changing discourse from the United Nations has altered the focus of international relations from preventing interstate conflict to furthering the human security of individuals.
The UN Development Programme 1994 Human Development Report highlighted these new ideals of “freedom from want” and “freedom from fear” for all people, and claimed that this was the best way to overcome global insecurity.
