President William Ruto announced that 28 million Kenyans have accessed Sh90 billion in loans through the Hustler Fund, a financial inclusion initiative launched by the Kenya Kwanza administration. The program aims to offer affordable credit to those excluded from formal banking systems (eastleighvoice.co.ke).
The fund has also contributed to saving Kenyans a total of Sh7 billion, according to official figures shared during a progress briefing. Ruto emphasized the fund's role in transforming lives by promoting a savings culture through a fully digital platform (peopledaily.digital).
The Hustler Fund, part of broader efforts to improve financial access, has been praised for its digital approach, enabling millions to manage their finances more effectively. The initiative reflects the government's commitment to economic empowerment and financial inclusion.
The success of the program highlights its impact on a large portion of the population, offering a new tool for economic mobility and stability.
