Economic empowerment programme for Women and Youth groups Thika town, Kiambu County, Kenya

The economic empowerment programme for Women and Youth groups SACCOs is complementary to the elaborate and targeted policy interventions by the Kenya Kwanza Administration to stimulate grassroots economy, create jobs and income opportunities and improve the quality of life for our people.

Our support for mama mboga, boda boda riders, owners of salons and barbershops, carpenters, electricians and other micro and small-scale traders who play a critical role in running the local economies and creating jobs is unstoppable.

With increased production of food and cash crops resulting in better returns for our farmers and reduced cost of food items and other essential commodities, the Market Infrastructure Programme is underway countrywide, to avail a conducive environment for small-scale traders to transact business in dignity and safety.

In Thika Town Constituency, Gatuanyaga, Ngoingwa, Ngoliba and Madaraka modern and ESP markets are part of the 400 new markets coming up across the country.
