The Nasio Trust | Changing Lives For Good

Volunteer to be a part of our UK team

Are you thinking of a gap year, looking for a new challenge, change of career, interested in international development or have any free time to spare? Spending a few months at Nasio UK Office is a great way to hone your skills.

We would love to hear from you. We try to keep our overheads to a minimum so that the money raised by our supporters goes to where it is needed in Kenya www.thenasiotrust.org to support our children and their communities.

We’ve just seen a fantastic article over on the Oxford Student website about responsible voluntourism.

The Nasio Story In Nancy’s Own Words

As you might be aware our founder Nancy was recently awarded an honorary doctorate for the amazing work undertaken by The Nasio Trust.

We thought now would be a great time to share a talk she did at an Inspirational Change event run by Community Change Agents.

Nancy is awarded an honorary doctorate!

We’re very excited to announce that – on Friday April 28th – Nasio founder Nancy Hunt was awarded an honorary doctorate at Exeter Cathedral for the incredible work that she and the charity have accomplished!

Congratulations Nancy.

Sponsoring Mourine

I first met Mourine in 2014, on my first visit to Kenya with the Nasio. She was five years old at the time, and in Baby Class at St. Irene’s ECD school. I almost instantaneously developed a soft-spot for her, and decided to sponsor her.

I have been blessed to get to know her and grow quite close to her in that time.

“Volunteering with The Nasio Trust is learning about life”

Rajab is one of the children who has directly benefited from the work that The Nasio Trust does. He has now decided to give something back by volunteering himself! Here’s an update…

It's my pleasure to share with you my experience and many other things that I have gained from Nasio Trust. We recently went for a medical camp to a certain village.
