The Nasio Trust Details
The Nasio Trust is a Christian UK registered Charity (registration number 1104542) with offices in Oxfordshire, UK and Mumias, Western Kenya. The Nasio Trust's mission is to improve the well-being of children affected by HIV/AIDS in Kenya.In October 2000 in a small village in Western Kenya the late 79 year old Irene Mudenyo (Mother of Nancy Hunt-The director of The Nasio Trust) found an abandoned baby in a sugarcane plantation on her farm. Irene's attempts to find the child's parents or relatives proved futile and during the course of her search the extent to which AIDS and HIV related illness had devastated family life in the local community became apparent. These experiences lead to the formation in 2003 of The Nasio Trust by Irene's daughters.As a result of the HIV epidemic mostly people in the parent/teacher age group are dying, leaving 1.3 million children missing school to care for sick parents or too poor to go to school because they have been orphaned. These children represent over 10% of Kenyan's total population. Many children are now raised by their grandparents or left to fend for themselves in child-headed households. Working in partnership with children's guardians, community and local organisations The Nasio Trust ensures that Kenyan children orphaned or made vulnerable as a result of HIV can go to primary and secondary school, have opportunities after finishing school, and receive health information to reduce their vulnerability.
