Last year, Embu County Youth Empowerment and Sports department was the first in the country to establish a youth empowerment plan which gave birth to the Embu County Youth
Trust Fund which is a revolving fund with an inception capital of Khs. 9 million for phase I.

This year, the amount was increased to Ksh. 10 million which this week Governor Wambora issued cheques to successful applicants. The fund targets young people within the age bracket of 18 to 35 years whose total population is skyrocketing and forms the largest
segment of our population.

The Fund’s purpose is to create employment for the youth of Embu and provide youth entrepreneurs with capital for business startup and growth. The fund’s “Mission” is to increase economic opportunities for the youth of Embu through enterprise development and strategic partnerships.

The fund’s “Vision” is to be a sustainable and growing fund,economically empowering Embu
County youth. According to Youth Empowerment and Sports CEC Emily Njuki, the fund has been very successful and the beneficiaries have so far surpassed repayment target. This is a good gesture that youth can be responsible on matters financial management.
