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.
Research
Gather and analyze budget documents from national and county sources, cross-checked with credible data.
Verify
Cross-check data and ensure accuracy. No claim goes live without confirmation from an official source.
Explain
Translate findings into clear, youth-friendly content — briefs, videos, and short reads.
Support Action
Provide tools, templates, and pathways for civic participation in budget processes.
