Celebrate Our 25th Anniversary!
January 2026

We are thrilled to be celebrating a huge milestone — 2026 marks Nasio’s 25th Anniversary

Over the past 25 years, the Nasio Trust has supported thousands of families to break the cycle of poverty. Vulnerable children have been able to attend school, farmers have put food on the table, and thousands of patients have received high-quality care at our medical centre. We are incredibly proud to be at the forefront of lasting, transformative change in Western Kenya.

We would love you to help us celebrate everything we’ve achieved together by taking part in our anniversary activities and challenges

We would love you to help us celebrate everything we’ve achieved together by taking part in our anniversary activities and challenges:

  • Join us for a Quiz Night at the Loose Canon Brewery in Abingdon on 28 May
  • Join us at Dorchester Abbey in the summer – June 14
  • Volunteer with us again — or even climb Kilimanjaro to relive past memories
  • Take on a “25” challenge: walk 25 miles, bake 25 treats, run 25km (or create your own!)
  • Fundraise as a group, school, or church

To mark our silver anniversary, we are aiming to raise £25,000 to provide free in-patient care, antenatal services, and safe deliveries for expectant mothers.

Primary healthcare centres like the GMK Medical Centre have recently been downgraded by the Kenyan Social Health Authority and will no longer receive government funding. As a result, we may be forced to turn away up to 10,000 patients each year.

Raising £25,000 in 2026 will help ensure that vital healthcare services remain available to the local community while we work towards building our new medical centre.

If you have any questions or ideas about our anniversary campaign, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch at info@nullthenasiotrust.org.

Children’s Mental Health Week – 9th- 15th February

Nurturing Hope, Building Resilience!

At the Nasio Trust, we believe that every child deserves not only access to education and healthcare, but also the chance to grow up with emotional strength and hope. This Children’s Mental Health Week, we are reminded that mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health, and that together, we can create safe spaces where children thrive.

Why the 2025 Budget Makes Charitable Giving More Important Than Ever

This year, as families across the UK consider giving, it’s worth thinking not only of generosity but also of opportunity.

With the 2025 Budget under the new Labour government, a number of fiscal changes have made the case for charitable donations — such as those to The Nasio Trust — stronger than ever.

Changes to the Kenyan Healthcare System Leaves Thousands At Risk

Kenya’s new Social Health Authority (SHA) was meant to expand access to free healthcare. For the communities Nasio serves, it is doing the opposite.

The transition from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to SHA has introduced income-based premiums, digital registration, and phone-dependent systems that many families simply cannot access—particularly women, children, and the poorest households.
