Mombasa youth have been urged to take advantage of the 18,300 climate Workx job opportunities announced by the government during the 62nd Madaraka Day celebrations in Homa Bay.

President William Ruto announced the nationwide rollout of the ambitious Climate workx initiative, which aims to engage 110,000 youth across all 47 counties.

The programme was initially launched in Nairobi last year.

Designed as a social protection initiative, Climate Workx will involve youth in delivering essential public goods such as road construction and maintenance, tree planting, and environmental sanitation improvements within their communities.
