PS Roseline Njogu Takes Diaspora Mashinani Drive to Maitei, Meru County

The Principal Secretary for the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, Roseline Kathure Njogu, on Saturday took the #DiasporaMashinani sensitization drive to Maitei Location in Meru County, where she engaged local youth on entrepreneurship, skills development, and opportunities in the international labour market.

Addressing the youth, PS Njogu encouraged them to transform their ideas into viable enterprises, while leveraging TVET training to acquire practical skills that can unlock pathways to employment both locally and abroad.

She emphasized the importance of equipping young people with hands-on skills that meet the demands of the global economy, noting that technical and vocational training remains a key gateway to dignified jobs and self-employment.

Through the grassroots engagements, the State Department aims to promote safe and ethical labour mobility, while ensuring that communities are well-informed and strategically positioned to benefit from the opportunities available in the global labour market.

The drive is part of ongoing efforts by the government to bring diaspora-related information closer to communities at the grassroots, empowering youth to make informed decisions about work, migration, and entrepreneurship.
