*URGENT: BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS MISUSING THE NYOTA PROJECT*
To All Kenyan Youth and the General Public:
The National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) Project is a five-year initiative of the Government of Kenya that seeks to unlock the potential of Kenya’s youth by addressing unemployment, expanding income-generating opportunities, and promoting a culture of savings and entrepreneurship.
The project aims to empower over 820,000 vulnerable youth aged 18-29 (up to 35 for persons with disabilities) by providing free business skills training, certification, mentorship, and non-repayable business support capital of up to KSh. 50,000 to start or expand their businesses.
It has come to our attention that SCAMMERS are exploiting the NYOTA name to target vulnerable youth. We urge you to be vigilant and not fall victim to these scammers.
There is NO official NYOTA App for applying, registering, or receiving funds. Any app claiming to be linked to NYOTA such as NYOTA Fund is FAKE and it’s designed to scheme and solicit your personal data.
Please be aware of this.
@Itumbi_Denis Fix the Youth Unemployment by;
1. Giving the State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy at least 5 Billion,2.Bring back all Youth Programmes eg. UWEZO Fund, NYS, KNIA, etc, 3. Domicile whole of The Arts to SDYACE, 4. Hold NYC elections, 5. Passing the Youth Bill.
VALIDATION EXERCISE FOR NYOTA PROJECT - BUSINESS SUPPORT COMPONENT
Today, a nationwide validation exercise for the business component for the NYOTA Programme is being conducted across all constituencies in the republic.
The main objective is to verify the authenticity and eligibility of applicants to generate a final, definitive list of 100,000 youth beneficiaries for the Business Support grant.
This grant is the first part of the broader Kshs. 20 Billion NYOTA intervention. Specifically, the Business Support component amounts to a total of Kshs. 5 Billion, with each successful applicant set to receive a Kshs. 50,000 start-up grant to fund and scale their entrepreneurial ventures.
This validation exercise targets youths who were pre-selected and received official messages of invitation to participate.
The data collected from today's physical validation, combined with the performance in the Entrepreneurship Aptitude Test (EAT), will be subjected to a comprehensive analysis. This analysis will lead to the generation of a purely system-generated and verifiable list of the 100,000 final beneficiaries, which will be ready by next week.
All pre-selected applicants thus are urged to attend the validation exercise in person at their respective designated venues as officially published, with their Original National Identity Card/NCPWD Card.

@KenyaRedCross Long term solutions such as drilling boreholes, construction of passable roads and engaging locals in irrigated agriculture is key. It is disheartening to see children and women malnourished yet they elected leaders who should be proactive in their actions. Why???
4.35 million people in #Kenya affected by the drought are on the brink of starvation.
They need:
💧Water
🍲Food
🩺Medical attention
We are responding to these needs but we still need collective action.
Join our cause in helping our brothers and sisters facing the #FoodCrisis.
