In Machakos County, young people are getting a fresh chance to build their future through the Machakos Youth Service, a free skills training program fully supported by the county government. What started as a bold idea is now gaining real momentum, as the initiative rolls into its second cohort, drawing youth from all corners of the county.
At the center of this transformation is Governor Wavinya Ndeti, whose leadership continues to prioritize practical opportunities for young people. Her administration has placed strong focus on equipping youth with hands on skills that directly connect to employment and self reliance.
The program is not just about training it is about empowerment. Participants are gaining skills in areas that matter in today’s economy, giving them a pathway to earn a living, support their families, and contribute to their communities. For many, this is their first real opportunity to access structured training without the burden of fees.
The move to a second cohort signals both success and growing demand. More young people are stepping forward, eager to be part of a program that is already showing visible impact across Machakos. It reflects trust in the initiative and confidence in the county leadership driving it.
Governor Wavinya Ndeti’s commitment is clear: no young person should be left behind due to lack of opportunity. By investing in skills development at the grassroots level, her government is not only addressing unemployment but also laying the foundation for long term economic growth in Machakos County.
As the program expands, it stands as a strong example of how local leadership, when focused and people centered, can create real change, one young person at a time.
