The Nasio Trust is a UK registered charity and Kenyan NGO which supports orphaned and vulnerable children and empowers communities to break the cycle of poverty. Established over 20 years ago, our community-based approach is aimed at providing a holistic solution to tackling the root causes of poverty through education, healthcare, psychosocial support, food security and income generation. Our Philosophy. We believe children should not grow up in institutions like orphanages, where they are isolated from society because of poverty, sickness, disease or death of parents. Children should live in a loving family with dignity without being stigmatised by the cause of their vulnerability.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I wonder what it must be like growing up without any parents? I have committed to raise £3500 for the Nasio Trust (Charity No.1104542). They do a great job supporting the HIV orphans of Kenya and you can find out about their various projects at www.thenasiotrust.org.

The Nasio Trust started in a roadside kiosk with 15 orphans, but today supports 180 children. The trust supports these orphans through daycare, providing food, clothing and educational resources. The Trust needs to raise £30,000 in total to build a second purpose built centre and support more HIV orphans. Even the smallest amount will be put to good use - £10 will feed a child for a month, £20 will provide a child with clothes, shoes and bedding, £100 will keep a child at the centre for a whole year.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Nasio Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation at no extra cost to you.

Thank you for your kind donation.

Bret.
