Mwea, Kenya – Mwea Member of Parliament, Mary Maingi, has praised the Uwezo Fund for its significant contribution to the growth and development of various groups within the constituency. Speaking at a recent community engagement event, Maingi highlighted the vital role the fund has played in empowering local groups and boosting their economic activities.
“The Uwezo Fund has played a key role in the growth and development of many groups in our region,” said Maingi. She emphasized that the support provided by the fund has been instrumental in uplifting economic activities, ultimately contributing to the overall economic growth of Mwea Constituency.
Maingi took the opportunity to urge more groups to take part in the program by registering and applying for the fund in 2025. “I strongly encourage more groups to register and apply in 2025 to fully take advantage of the opportunity. The Uwezo Fund is a powerful tool for fostering development, and we want to see as many groups as possible benefit from it,” she added.
The Uwezo Fund, designed to support youth, women, and persons with disabilities in Kenya, offers financial assistance to groups with innovative projects aimed at enhancing their economic capacities. Maingi’s call for wider participation is expected to result in greater access to the fund and increased economic growth for the constituents.
With the 2025 applications now open, Maingi remains committed to ensuring that as many local groups as possible benefit from this transformative initiative. Through this, she hopes to see a stronger, more prosperous Mwea that thrives on the collective efforts of its community members.
