Steps

  1. Call the free Inua Jamii line 1533 and ask about registering your household and whether it meets the criteria.
  2. You can also talk to the Inua Jamii programme officers at your county or sub-county social protection office.

Watch out

  • The money is meant to help the caregiver look after the person with severe disability, so the household and caregiver are part of the assessment.
  • Payments have been monthly since July 2023, not every two months as older notices say.

Who can apply

  • An extremely poor household with one or more persons with severe disability.
  • The person with the disability (the beneficiary) is a Kenyan citizen.
  • The household isn't in any other programme (unless a member is on the 70+ older persons programme).
  • The household has lived in the area for at least 1 year.
