A total of Ksh850,696,000 has been allocated to 425,348 households, each receiving Ksh2,000 for the July 2026 cycle.
The disbursement, facilitated by the State Department for Children Services, aims to support vulnerable families in meeting basic needs and improving the welfare of children living in vulnerable circumstances. The funds were disbursed through the government's contracted Payment Service Provider, beginning on September 1, 2026. Cheptumo urged beneficiaries to adhere to the established payment procedures and remain vigilant against potential fraud attempts.
This latest payout is part of the broader Inua Jamii initiative, which provides cash transfers to vulnerable households in Kenya. Other groups supported through Inua Jamii include older persons and those in extremely vulnerable circumstances.
