Each member of the group has been saving Sh1,500 monthly.
They intend to use it to start a poultry project and create a digital hub for job creation for local youths.
Members are drawn from various communities in Isiolo and are mainly college students.
Isiolo County Commissioner Herman Shambi on Monday held a two-hour meeting with the group.
A group of 20 youths working under the government’s Kazi Mtaani programme has warmed the hearts of many residents of Isiolo for starting a savings plan aimed at helping vulnerable families and youth empowerment.
Cognisant of the challenges that the youth continue to face while at home and the likelihood of them being lured into drug abuse and criminal activities, Next Generation Mfinyanzi Youth group has been undertaking sensitisation campaigns and encouraging young people to seize available job opportunities to cushion themselves against the harsh economic effects of Covid-19.
