Budget Ndio Story

Who we are · Consortium

We turn budget jargon into questions that matter.

Budget Ndio Story is a youth‑led consortium of creators, researchers, and advocates making Kenya's budget understandable and actionable — so more people can show up and speak up.

Why we exist

We make Kenya's budget information clear, usable, and youth-friendly.

So young people can participate, shape priorities, and track results — not as spectators, but as informed citizens with the tools to show up and speak up.

How we work

Four steps from raw government document to civic action.

Step 1

Research

Gather and analyze budget documents from national and county sources, cross-checked with credible data.

Step 2

Verify

Cross-check data and ensure accuracy. No claim goes live without confirmation from an official source.

Step 3

Explain

Translate findings into clear, youth-friendly content — briefs, videos, and short reads.

Step 4

Support Action

Provide tools, templates, and pathways for civic participation in budget processes.
