As Foster Care Fortnight 2025 continues, we’re honoured to share a very special perspective on this year’s theme: The Power of Relationships.
In this latest video, we meet Nyasha, Founder and Responsible Adult for Banya. With many years of experience in family placements, Nyasha has supported hundreds of fostering journeys, and reflects on one of the very first foster placements she was involved with, over 25 years ago—an experience that has stayed with her ever since.
It’s a quiet but powerful reminder of what fostering is really about: not just providing a place to stay, but creating real, lasting relationships that help children feel safe, supported, and seen.
Nyasha’s story speaks to the heart of what Banya was built to do—help young people thrive by placing them with families who care, and who continue to care well into adulthood.
Thank you, Nyasha, for sharing your experience and for helping to create the foundations of the Banya fostering community.
If you’ve ever considered fostering, now’s the time to take the first step. Learn more about becoming a foster carer.
