Jamii Products, a new initiative under Jamii Industrial Park Ltd and Jamii Hope and Empowerment CBO, has launched a transformative sponsorship programme targeting 1,000 students across Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This milestone has been made possible through a generous donor from Switzerland and will run for the next 6 to 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme aims to empower communities through eco-enterprise training, focusing on sustainable production, skills development, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each student will receive a sponsorship of Ksh 5,000 and contribute an equal amount, making the total training cost Ksh 10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training is anchored on a three-phase model: manufacturing khaki paper products, offering technical and entrepreneurial skills training, and enterprise support through provision of tools, raw materials, and mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The products include paper bags, envelopes, book covers, gift packaging, and eco-friendly dustbins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a special arrangement, 10% of the beneficiaries\u2014100 students\u2014will receive enhanced sponsorship and mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are divided into three categories: caregivers of children with special needs (50 students), young men and women under 35 (30 students), and parents (20 students).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selected groups will also benefit from Training of Trainers (TOT) sessions in eco-friendly charcoal briquette production and be eligible for seed capital upon completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outreach strategy will ensure inclusivity by deploying 20 officers to coordinate with vernacular radio stations and national media to reach all 45 Kenyan tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Targeted stations include Musyi FM, Ramogi FM, Kameme FM, Radio Maisha, Citizen TV, and KTN Home, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In partnership with the Ministry of Interior and the Public Benefit Authority, the programme will extend training to 94 prisons, caregivers, PWDs, marginalized groups, refugees, and youth across Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamii Products believes this initiative will promote equitable access to skills training, foster entrepreneurship, and support community-driven solutions to poverty and unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With strong donor backing and strategic partnerships, the organization is optimistic about creating long-term social and economic impact across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
