President William Ruto announced that Kenyan youth will begin receiving business support of Ksh50,000 each starting in September to help launch small businesses. This program, backed by an agreement with the World Bank, aims to support over 100,000 youth across the country.

• Ksh5 billion will be distributed: 70 youth in each ward across Kenya will receive Ksh50,000.
• The program, National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA), is a five-year transformative agenda funded by the World Bank.
• The money will be strictly distributed to youth registered under the official NYOTA program, which is free of charge to applicants.
