NYOTA Grant Application Reopens: Youths Urged to Apply for Ksh 50,000 Business Support Grant
Good news for young entrepreneurs! The NYOTA Grant Business Support Fund has officially reopened applications for the Ksh 50,000 grant starting today. This comes after a stakeholder meeting where it was noted that some wards recorded very low—or even zero—applications during the first phase.
The grant is part of the Cycle 1 Youth Empowerment Programme, designed to support 70 youth from each ward across the country with seed capital to boost their business ventures
Why the Grant Was Reopened
According to program officials, the decision to reopen applications was made to ensure equal representation of youth beneficiaries nationwide. Many wards had fewer applicants than required, leaving a gap in the targeted 70 slots per ward.
To bridge this gap, the government has launched sensitization and awareness campaigns in every county starting today to encourage more youth to take advantage of this life-changing opportunity.
