He revealed this during a stakeholder meeting in Kisii County on Thursday afternoon, sparking hope for thousands of jobless youth across the country.

Billions Already Disbursed

To show commitment, the government has already released KSh28 billion. These funds will be channeled towards 70 youth per ward, translating into a nationwide reach.

“The government has released KSh28 billion,” Kindiki emphasized.
“Starting this month, 70 businesses in each ward will be funded. Each youth will receive KSh50,000.”

This money is meant to boost small-scale businesses run by young Kenyans aged 18 to 29 years. The Deputy President encouraged the youth to seize the opportunity.

“This money is strictly for registered youth-owned businesses,” he clarified.
“Let no one be left out. Take advantage of this rare chance.”

NYOTA: A Lifeline for Youth

The NYOTA Programme (National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement) is a five-year government plan funded by the World Bank. It aims to reduce youth unemployment, income insecurity, and low savings.

Notably, this initiative is an extension of the Kenya Youth Employment Opportunities Project (KYEOP). It now targets over 110,000 young people nationwide.

The programme is being implemented through the Micro and Small Enterprises Authority (MSEA).

Support for All Kenyans

Kindiki also assured Kenyans that support won’t end with the youth.

“Let us help our youth to secure employment,” he urged.
“For those who are not youth, like mama mboga and other business people, we have many interventions to support all businesses.”

His message was clear: no one will be left behind. Whether young or elderly, the government is creating opportunities for all.

Application Window Closed
