The government has disbursed Sh2.4 billion under the Inua Jamii programme, benefitting more than 1.2 million vulnerable Kenyans in the September 2025 payment cycle. Each beneficiary will receive Sh2,000, according to a statement from the Ministry of Gender, Culture, and Children Services.
The ministry emphasized that the Inua Jamii initiative remains a cornerstone of Kenya’s social protection framework, aimed at upholding dignity, reducing dependency, and promoting social inclusion among the elderly and persons with disabilities. It also highlighted that regular and timely payments are central to the government’s wider social protection agenda, ensuring that no eligible Kenyan is left behind.
“The government remains committed to ensuring the regular and timely release of funds to all eligible beneficiaries as part of its wider social protection agenda,” the ministry said.
The government continues to strengthen systems that enhance efficiency and transparency in the delivery of social protection services across the country.
This disbursement follows the Sh881 million released on September 29, 2025, for the Cash Transfer for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CT-OVC) programme, also under the Inua Jamii initiative. The funds benefited 440,537 households, each receiving Sh2,000 for the August cycle.
Earlier in September, the government also disbursed Sh1.78 billion for the June and July 2025 CT-OVC payment cycles, reaching 445,940 households, each receiving Sh4,000 to cover the two-month period.
The ministry noted that the CT-OVC programme contributes to improved school enrollment and transition rates, enhanced child health and nutrition, and household food security, aligning with Kenya’s national development goals.
Through these interventions, the government seeks to uplift vulnerable households and ensure that all Kenyans share in the nation’s development progress.
