The Nasio Trust's mission is to break the cycle of poverty and empower communities in western Kenya to become self-sufficient through education, improved health, and food production. The charity sponsors the education, nutrition, and healthcare of 320 orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) in an HIV-prone zone of Kakamega County. It also meets the economic needs of the community by running a sustainable agriculture programme training 600 farmers and improving healthcare outcomes by running a Peer Education Programme on Sexual and Reproductive Health. The Nasio Trust aims to keep OVCs within the community and empowers guardians to earn an income. It also runs a medical centre, treating over 19,000 patients in 2022. The charity's ethos ensures that stakeholders are integral to its decision-making. It works closely with schools, local government, health workers, and religious leaders. The mission started in October 2000, when the late Irene Mudenyo found an abandoned baby in a sugarcane plantation on her farm in a small village in western Kenya. 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. Despite being elderly and a grandmother herself, Irene decided to care for the child naming him Moses. These experiences lead to the formation in 2003 of The Nasio Trust by Irene's daughters. From humble beginnings in a roadside kiosk providing one meal a day to fifteen local children, The Nasio Trust has come a long way.

Initially established as a foodbank in March of 2020, we sought to alleviate hunger for people experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as demand grew and we adapted to the changing needs of those we supported, our services grew. We now provide food parcels to over 90 Northamptonshire schools, as well as other vital organisations such as the Northamptonshire Community Mental Health Teams, Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service, Northamptonshire Children's Trust, Northamptonshire Social Services, and Northamptonshire HM Prisons and Probation service. Since 2020, we have supported over 103,000 people with our food parcels alone. However, our foodbank is not the only service we offer. We also tackle social isolation and wellbeing with our three weekly social clubs, which target locally identified groups in need of this provision. These clubs take a focus on wellbeing, ensuring no member of the community is left struggling or alone. We offer a Minibus service for our club members, providing transportation to and from the clubs, picking them up from home and returning them after the sessions. We also use our minibus to take our club members on monthly trips to local attractions or places of interest. We also run our Doorstep Buddies program, which provides regular at-home visits to people who are socially isolated, giving them the opportunity to have a catch-up with someone. We offer a variety of other community welfare services that have an equally enormous impact on people's wellbeing. This includes home rimprovements for people suffering ill-health and bereavement and gardening services for those who may struggle to do so themselves. On top of this, we offer 1-1 guidance and support sessions with benefits and other welfare applications, and educational services including cookery and digital inclusion classes. The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation is a lifeline for hundreds in the Northamptonshire community, and many be in a very different position without our support. Since establishing as a charity back in 2020, we have offered invaluable aid to thousands, supporting them through times of immense struggle and hardship.
