Ajiry Programe Training

NYC PARTNERS WITH CENTUM FOUNDATION IN SENSITISING YOUTH ON AJIRY

On18th May 2020, NYC partnered with Centum, Sidian Bank and Mastercard Foundation through its pilot Ajiry programme, where a total of thirty (30) youth were trained on Zero Contact Distribution, in Kangemi, Dagoretti North Constituency.

Ajiry, is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) designed to provide a platform for entrepreneurial youth to connect and network effortlessly, conveniently and free from the controls of third-part agents with employers. This App allows youth to cast a wider net in their search for job opportunities.  

In the training, the attendees were informed of what is required of the beneficiaries before keying in their data on the platform; beneficiaries name, telephone number, National ID numbers, Constituencies and Wards. Additionally, it will be imperative to outline a database of collection points (supermarkets, distribution points and local kiosks) will be required.

The facilitators explained to the trainees how the platform tracks redeemed vouchers in a sequential manner:

The beneficiaries, including households, will:

  1. Receive E-vouchers via SMS
  2. Visit a participating collection point with their phones

Ajiri App will provide a platform for the youth to promote development of an entrepreneurial culture and mind-set. Counties where the project has successfully been launched include Mombasa, Laikipia and Kilifi.
