The Kenyan Government and the World Bank are ironing out details of a collaboration that will provide young mothers with a monthly stipend to accommodate their needs.
According to the President's Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria, the mothers will receive this monthly income during their pregnancies until their children turn three.
In addition to the stipend, Kuria revealed that they will also receive a monthly Ksh1,000 to be paid to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) to encourage the saving culture. "We have a special package for young mothers.
Right from pregnancy up to three years, we will give them a stipend to survive.
