The Young Farmers Club (YFC) Project, launched by The Nasio Trust in 2020, trains vulnerable young people in rural Kenya in sustainable agricultural practices, from crop rotation and kitchen gardens to tree nurseries, fish ponds, and beekeeping.
Participants establish Young Farmers Clubs in their schools and, once trained, and use their skills to supplement school meals or household income.

In rural Kenya, too many girls lack access to accurate sexual and reproductive health information. Cultural taboos mean these topics are rarely discussed, contributing to high rates of teenage pregnancy, HIV, and gender-based violence, impacting girls’ quality of life and educational outcomes leading to school drop-out.
At our Medical centre alone, 389 teenage pregnancy cases were recorded in the last five years, with around 22 new cases per week across the wider region. To address this, The Nasio Trust launched a peer-led education programme in 2018, reaching 20 schools and 15,000 young people, and helping reduce teenage pregnancy by more than 60%.

Kenya does not have a welfare system such as we enjoy in the UK. Education and medical care have to be paid for, and in a relatively poor country covering a large area, they are not necessarily available.

The Nasio Trust’s agricultural programmes address this by equipping farmers with climate-resilient techniques — including regenerative agriculture — to strengthen food security and sustainability.
