Welcome from our UK Chair

I am pleased to present our annual report which highlights how the Nasio Trust is going from strength to strength. I am proud to be part of a team which has, over the last 16 years, had a remarkable impact on communities living in extreme poverty in East Africa.

2017 has been another successful year in supporting the orphaned and vulnerable children and their communities in Musanda and Mumias, western Kenya in healthcare, education and feeding. Our aim is to provide them with the skills and confidence to be healthy, selfreliant and support them in sustainable projects to break the cycle of poverty. Our earliest intake of 15 children back in 2001 are now in higher education; people like Rajab who is studying medicine and Japheth who is training to be a teacher. Our spirulina unit has provided employment for seven guardians who have learned new skills and can support their families from their income.

This year we reached out to a community in Tanzania badly affected by the naturally occurring, dangerous levels of fluoride in the water. We partner with Bath University whose researchers have devised a simple colour-changing test to detect fluoride in drinking water, which could help prevent the crippling bone disease, skeletal fluorosis.

At the core of our work is the Nasio Model which recognises the need to tackle all aspects of a vulnerable child’s life in order to equip them with the confidence and skills to build a firm foundation for their future. The model is closely aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), one is to achieve “Zero Hunger”. We are making sure land is utilised efficiently and in 2018, through support from “The World We Want” we shall be partnering with “One Acre Fund” to provide subsistence farmers with the training and the means to increase quality and crop yields. We believe that replicating the Nasio Trust model in Kenya and elsewhere in East Africa provides the route out of poverty.

We step in when governments fall short, with health support, water and sanitation and help protect the most vulnerable, for example in building traditional houses for six families, installing 15 rainwater collection tanks for providing safe drinking water and treating 2,500 children affected by jiggers (a parasitic flea).

We could not do any of our work without the the inspiration and drive of our CEO Nancy, our dedicated staff, our trustees and our loyal supporters to whom I give my heartfelt thanks.

Keith Budgen

C.B.E (Nasio Trustee UK)

Welcome from our Kenyan Chair As the chair of the trustees in Kenya I speak on behalf of our children, staff and communities we support. Over the years I have seen children excel in education, parents stay healthy and able to support their families.

Global issues are a shared responsibility and therefore we are all making a big difference to the lives of people living in poverty, empowering them through employment and giving them tools to achieve a better future through education, food and access to healthcare. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us in 2017 in making such a difference to the lives of so many children and their families.

The History & Context Of Our Work The Nasio Trust began after a baby was found abandoned in a sugar-cane field in the village of Musanda, Mumias District, western Kenya, a remote region where poverty is endemic and HIV incidence 7.5% higher than the national average. In Mumias district HIV/AIDS is proportionately female driven by the poverty rate 55% of the population in the local area live on less than $1 per day, young girls dropping out of education.

Mumias district has a mounting HIV/AIDS prevalence and a significant rise in AIDS orphans with statistics indicating 60,000 child workers and 58,000 AIDS orphans as recently as 2011. Against this background The Nasio Trust was formed in 2001 to provide a solution that would help improve the livelihoods, futures and health outcomes for the poorest and vulnerable children in the region.

At the core of our work is the Nasio Model which is based on a holistic approach that recognises the need to address all aspects of a vulnerable child’s life in order to build a firm foundation for their future as a route out of poverty; a model that is closely aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is exemplified through access to education, psycho-social support, food security, access to health services and information, and community strengthening, (achieved through training in entrepreneurship and financial literacy).

Our Vision

To achieve healthy, self-reliant and sustainable communities in Musanda and Mumias and to lead the way in replicating the Nasio Trust model in Kenya and elsewhere in East Africa as a route out of poverty.

The Nasio Model 7

researched, developed and established an innovative spirulina production unit. The unit adheres to national and international standards, producing a ground-breaking nutritional supplement.

Spirulina is proven to tackle malnutrition

and boost the effectiveness of antiretroviral drugs when used as a high protein dietary supplement, and the unit has created a number of employment opportunities for our guardians.

The Nasio Model is closely aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Underpinning our approach is support of vulnerable children in their family setting, interventions that build self-reliance to lessen dependency, and peer learning that will lead to sustainability and stronger, independent communities.

Achievement and Impact: Our greatest achievement is community transformation whilst remaining small and focused and working with limited resources and budgets. Adopting a cross-cutting holistic approach we have established three foundation programmes which when combined, provide the holistic support we believe 8

is vital to improve the lives of orphans and vulnerable children.

These comprise: A vital ‘social work and access to education service’ that supports more than 350 vulnerable children through psycho-social care, food, security, advocacy and representation for childheaded house-holds. There’s also access to education and training with two ECDs (Early Childhood Development Centres).

Health Care comes via a purpose built medical centre which provides lifesaving health and medical services to our children and the wider community. Lastly we’re nurturing entrepreneurship, having

Impact & Long-term Change The impact of our approach is reflected through established community education and health structures and social services that did not exist before Nasio’s interventions. This is evidenced by more than 350 vulnerable children attending school and welfare support and food security which has built confidence, self-belief and secure childhoods where previously there was none; increased community

health awareness and ability to stay healthy and avoid HIV, evidenced by over 200 patient visits a month at our medical centre; improved nutrition and concentration levels in children leading to better educational outcomes, evidenced by established small holding farms with livestock, vegetables, fish farms and bee-hives run by trained local people that provide food for our schools with surplus sold to generate additional income.

Kenya at a glance Kenya is a country in eastern Africa with coastline on the Indian Ocean, bordered by Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. Although Kenya’s economy is the largest by GDP in east and central Africa, an alarming percentage of the population still lives in poverty, and life expectancy at birth remains low (64 years).

Kenya has the joint fourth-largest HIV epidemic in the world (alongside Mozambique and Uganda) in terms of the number of people living with HIV, which was 1.5 million people in 2015. Roughly 36,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in the same year, and there are now 660,000 children orphaned by AIDS. 40% of the population is under 15.

Our two ECD centres are thriving, and we are able to take in up to 40 new children each year. Those who attend the centre each day are given formal lessons, have time for play and receive a nutritious meal every day. Our centres are geographically located near primary schools, for children to come to our centres for meals during lunchtime. It is particularly important for us to monitor the children’s diet, so that those assessed

as malnourished can be given spirulina supplements produced at our farm.

By providing meals and supplements children are able to concentrate more in their studies.

Special diet programmes are also given to children who are HIV positive to ensure that anti-retroviral drugs are effective in sustaining healthy lives.

Education We currently support over 350 children accessing quality education provided by both our centres and higher educational institutions in Kenya.

Whilst primary schools in Kenya are free, secondary school fees cost up to ÂŁ80 a month for each child.

Many children who graduated from primary schools cannot afford to attend secondary schools, and seek casual jobs to generate income to support themselves and their families. As increasing numbers of our supported children become eligible for secondary education, we have to find the extra money so that each child can reach their full potential. Currently twenty eight Nasio Trust supported children are in secondary education it 14

currently costs us ÂŁ9,000 for secondary school per year. We also provide skills based opportunities to young people who are less academically gifted and enroll them on vocational courses at government run polytechnics to improve their skills for increased employability and entrepreneurship. Seven of our children are either in a university or polytechnic taking courses such as medicine, teaching and engineering.

As increasing numbers of our supported children become eligible for secondary education, we have to find the extra money so that each child can reach their full potential.

Special diet programmes are also given to children who are HIV positive to ensure that anti-retroviral drugs are effective in sustaining healthy lives.

Did You Know?

We partner with Oxford Vitality, a UK based business, which has donated free prenatal and postnatal supplements to ensure that new born children have a good start in life.

Our Medical Centre The George Mudenyo Medical Centre has been operational since 2016. It is situated in a remote area in Musanda in Kakamega County, which has a population of 30,000 people. Some patients have travelled as far as 30 miles to seek treatment and access good quality medical care. We also now have facilities for inpatients as well as a maternity delivery suite. The Medical Centre is receiving an average of 78 patients a week or around 4,000 patients a year. This represents 13% of the total population of Musanda. We admit approximately 24 in-patients a month and had 40 deliveries in our maternity unit in 2017. The most common diseases are malaria, water borne diseases and respiratory illnesses caused by traditional cooking methods, dust and poor hygiene.

16

To support our guardians we have developed a health insurance payment system that enables them to work when they are well and get treatment when sick through our medical centre, making sure they remain healthy and able to look after their children.

17

The Fight Against Jiggers We employ five social workers for community outreach and home visits, an integral part of our programme. Social Workers visit up to 20 families a week to assess the living conditions, identify children at risk and provide timely support to families. It is vital that social workers develop a close connection with each family to build trust and find ways to further support the community and especially the children.

The social work team, in coordination with our partners, also provides support in fighting jiggers in the communities where we work. Jiggers is a parasitic insect found in most tropical and sub-tropical climates. It is native to Central and South America, and has been inadvertently introduced by humans to sub-Saharan Africa. Approximately 50% of children in areas where we work are affected by jiggers. Left untreated the consequences are severe, in extreme cases leading to amputation of limbs or death. Even mild infections are detrimental. Children perform less well at school and often drop out because of the debilitating effects and the pain, trapping the next generation in poverty.

In 2017 we treated over 2500 children with jiggers from 6 schools. We also educate the community and schools to fight jigger related discrimination this is due to the reason that children affected with jiggers are often discriminated and bullied at schools.

Income Generating Projects Guest House

Our Guest house in Musanda accommodates up to 40 volunteers at a time providing a secure, clean and safe environment for volunteers and also generating funds to support our other projects. This year we accommodated over 100 volunteers from different backgrounds including schools, scouts, clubs and medical electives for trainee doctors and midwives.

We now advertise on AirBnB & TripAdviser which we hope will raise awareness of the work of the Nasio Trust and provide additional income.

Spirulina

Cafeteria

The seven guardians working in our spirulina greenhouse produce 4kg of dried spirulina a month, which is enough to make 8,000 capsules a month for use as a food supplement. This not only benefits our malnourished children (22 at St Irene and 18 at Noah’s Ark) and those in need in the community, but also provides the guardians with an income to support themselves and their families. People in the community buy the product at an affordable price and the income from this is reinvested in the Nasio projects.

Our cafeteria set up next to the Medical Centre provides patients and the local community with nutritious meals, snacks and drinks. It also is a hub for our staff and the community to meet and talk as well as providing much needed income for our projects.

Farms

We acquired 9 acres of land for our food production, especially of maize which is the staple food. Our aim is to produce over 200 bags of maize each growing season using better farming methods introduced with the help of One Acre Fund ( w w w. o n e a c r e f u n d . o r g ) .

This means all children can be fed from our own produce and therefore save costs.

20

Dairy

We have dairy cows producing milk used at our Day-Care Centres, with priority given to our malnourished children on a special diet. This saves us on the cost of having to buy milk; releasing income elsewhere.

Child Sponsorship

Fadhili’s story

Child sponsorship is one of the ways you can support a child in our care,

Childhood Development Centres. We provide basic needs of food, medical

provide them with an education, an opportunity to be a child and grow to reach their full potential.

We know poverty is a thief. It robs children of the right to grow up strong and healthy. It steals their time to play and denies them the chance to sit in a classroom and learn. From our child sponsorship programme donations we are able to fund our work at the Early

care and education. In 2017, 58 new children became sponsored through the Nasio Trust.

Fadhili was admitted to Noah’s Ark ECD in 2007. In 2012 he was diagnosed with a heart condition with a life expectancy of just three weeks unless operated on immediately as one of the valves in his heart had stopped working. The Nasio Trust successfully raised funds through the help of well-wishers both in country and in the UK so that Fadhili could undergo surgery. The operation was successful and he is now in good health. Fadhili’s family is grateful to the Nasio Trust the medical and psychosocial support

Japheth’s story

“I am so grateful to have a new family that accepts me, cares and looks after me and I really appreciate what Nasio Trust has done for me since without them I could not be in school and hoping to have a better future.

Through their support am able to study without a problem, fees is paid on time, clothing and food are provided. I promise to work hard so as to succeed

Japheth is 21 years old and now at Masinde Muliro University, a third year student studying education.

in future and one-day help others like me. May God bless the Nasio Trust’’ 22

23

Volunteering with Nasio The Nasio Trust runs a volunteering programme, popular with young people. It gives students the opportunity to learn what life is really like in the developing world and, unlike many corporate organisations running gap year excursions, our programmes are hands-on. Volunteer placements can last between 10 days and several months, tailored to suit individual needs. We also provide elective placements for students studying medicine, nursing, midwifery, nutrition and occupational therapy. All our volunteer placements directly help the communities (we do not support ‘Voluntourism’) we match the skills of the volunteers to the project needs.

“I’d say the best thing we have all taken away from the trip is the wonderful and unique friendships we have made – despite the cultural differences and language barriers – making a connection with people who live in such a different world to the one we live in” Talia

“Before going out to Kenya I was apprehensive about the work the Charity would be doing. Often western Charity 24

groups are accused of injecting money into poor areas which only makes them reliant on aid and unable to meet their future needs. They don’t always see the true needs of the locals or work with them and their deep root cultures. However, the Nasio was completely not like this. The head of the Charity, Nancy, was from the area the charity supports and therefore she knows first-hand what it needs which allows the Nasio Trust to make a real difference. They work with the people and the culture using sustainable approaches. Their core concept of sustainability stretches across all aspect of the Charity, in education, healthcare, infrastructure and the supporting the locals financially” Chloe

2017 Appeals

Earthwise

Two Christmas Appeals

The Didcot based company Earthwise Trading have been donating reusable sanitary pads to the Nasio Trust.

For every pack of three pads sold, one is donated to a Nasio supported girl in Kenya. We were able to distribute 200 pads this year to the standard 6, 7 and 8 girls keeping them in school. www.earthwisegirlsuk.co.uk

We ran two very successful appeals in December 2017, raising money for water tanks in Tanzania, and Christmas meals. Our first campaign was part of The Big Give Appeal, which raised through online crowdfunding.

Amazingly we exceed our target, and received £2,500 in matched funding from The Waterloo Foundation. A total of £11,800 was raised, including gift aid. We would like to thank everyone involved, particularly Expert Wealth Management, Gardpass Cyber and the laboratory block of Glasgow’s Royal Infirmary, for their generous giving.

In 2017 we ran our usual Christmas Meals Appeal alongside a 12 days of Christmas campaign, encouraging the purchase of alternative gifts. We raised a total of £2,907, exceeding our 2016 total by £629.

Oxford Vitality The maternity ward staff at St Mary’s Hospital were given iron and folic supplements by the health and wellbeing Oxfordshire Business Oxford Vitality. Deficiencies in iron and folic acid during pregnancy can severely affect the health of the mother and unborn child, we are therefore incredibly grateful to have Oxford Vitality as one of our corporate partners. www.oxfordvitality.co.uk

Gingham Dresses Children attending school in Kenya

viewed by half a million people and we

must wear a uniform and for many the cost is unaffordable. Usually we don’t accept second hand clothes because the lack of storage space, but we ran a “one off” targeted appeal for primary school gingham dresses. We expected a small response but our Facebook post was

received over 300 dresses which have all been taken to Kenya and handed out.

There were heartwarming examples of young children who had been affected by the appeal and used their initiative to organise dress collections at their schools.

Partnership with YoCO The Exit 7 programme, designed by the Nasio Trust to help young people to overcome the problems that they face during teenage years by developing resilience and confidence, is now being run by Youth Challenge Oxfordshire (YoCO).

Oxford Interns & Bath University The Nasio Trust, in partnership with the Careers Office at Oxford University, takes students over the summer break on internships to help solve problems in East Africa. This year chemistry undergraduates Max and Simona led by post-graduate Jack, spent their summer in Tanzania investigating ways in which fluoride can be removed from water without costly or sophisticated equipment and project managed the installation of water tanks.

Tanzania Water Project The Nasio Trust has reached out to to support communities further afield in East Africa to a poor community living near Arusha, in Tanzania.

For decades, the Massai people living in Oldonyo Sambu area have been drinking water with naturally occurring levels of fluoride reaching over twenty times the US recommended level. This has had a severe impact on their lives, causing crippling skeletal fluorosis (abnormal bone growth and joint solidification), 30

chronic pain and poor development in children.

cognitive

The Nasio Trust installed 12 rainwater harvesting tanks to give more than two hundred people access to fluoride free water. With further funding (being raised in collaboration with Waterloo Trust & Rotary International) we intend to provide more tanks to help further members of the community to access safe drinking water across 2018.

Plans for 2018/19 Medical Centre We aim to fully equip our medical centre to enhance the services we provide such as blood testing equipment and an increased number of medical personnel to serve the increasing patient numbers.

Education Continue to support over 350 children to access quality education and regular medical care.

Continue to support over 400 families to improve farming methodologies and access to market of farm products.

Egmont Trust In 2018 with ÂŁ15,000 funding from Egmont Trust we will be able to develop a peer education HIV prevention programme, targeting young people. Information and support in HIV care and sexual/ reproductive health is important for behaviour change, economic empowerment and gender equality.

Westers We have been funded by the catering company Westers in Stockholm to help improve the environment through conservation, community health, education and creating life changing volunteer opportunities for Westers staff. The programme focuses on improving and sustaining the environment through planting of trees, reducing deforestation, distributing eco-friendly cookers (Jiko), providing solar lighting lamps and delivering education to vulnerable families to help them understand the importance of conserving the environment with the end view of improving their health.

Solar Power We shall be installing solar lighting and water heating at our medical centre from funds kindly provided by the MPM Charitable Trust which will enable the centre to care for patients during the frequent power cuts.

Journey back was hard too but we did it! Gosh, what a beautiful feeling that was. Laughter, tears mixed together.

The whole trip was like a dream and at the hotel sipping ‘Kilimanjaro’ beer and scrolling through hundreds of pics you realise that you achieved so much. Truly unforgettable. You also meet so many people during the climb! Everybody is

friendly, everybody going through the same emotions and pain and the feeling of comradeship is in the air.back from Kenya I know I couldn’t choose a better organisation.”

Here’s an extract from Krzysztof’s amazing story from when he climbed with us.

“This idea came to my mind 1 year before the trip. I just turned 39 years old then. By a pure coincidence I met at work a gentleman now in his late 90’s who for long years was the oldest man 34

ever (in Guinness Book) who reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. That’s how I started researching the subject and thinking realistically about it.

Well. I didn’t expect how hard the high altitude will hit me. First couple of days were fairly easy. Then when we climbed to 4000m plus I started feeling lack of oxygen. Boys were saying that I’m doing very well but last day/night of the climb to the top was so so hard and I truly didn’t 35
