Youth Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki said the re-launch of the programme would ensure more youth in Saccos across the country benefitted from the new phase of the projects. Updated Tue, May 10th 2016 at 00:31 GMT +3The stalled National Youth Service (NYS) projects in Nairobi’s Kibra slum have been re-launched. We have relaunched a new face of the youth project, which we believe will economically develop and build the capacity of youth in entrepreneurship, and train them in some relevant life skills,” Ms Kariuki said. The CS said they have initiated 147 youth Saccos across the country with a working share capital of Sh400 million in circulation while youths had saved Sh980m. The CS disclosed that 16 Saccos have been started in Kibra with 3,896 members registered and savings of Sh113.5 million.
