227,670HUDUMA YOUTH
SUMMARY OF THE 5-POINT VISION
Regimentation Through NYS Work Camps, the 227,670 youth to be
regimented into 15,178 squads of 15 youths per squad. A total of 323 squads of youths per county.
Rituals of Bonding. At NYS Work Camp, the 227,670 will make a mandatory
saving of Kshs 100 per day deposited in a squad account. This ritual of daily savings will bank Kshs 111,000 into the squad account after an average of 74 days of service. The collective account is what will Bond the squad.
SUMMARY OF THE 5-POINT VISION
Livelihoods. The squad account with Kshs 111,000 can attract a co-operative or
UWEZO loan of 3 times the amount or a matching grant from the Ministry. This is enough to buy two brand new motorcycles for the squad of 15.
Identity and Significance Link the youth squads of 15 to the Nyumba Kumi initiative, UWEZO
and KYEDF. Borrow from the Mugudugudu model in Rwanda or the Kebele model in Ethiopia to involve the youth in Manyumba Kumi. This will be a significance score!
Leadership of the 227,670 will be in squads, this will be left to the youth, NYS will catalyse only.
