Government pledges to double savings over Sh6,000 for Kenyan borrowers

On 3oth November 2023, the President of Kenya promised to match savings above Sh6,000 for Kenyans who have borrowed five times from the Hustler Fund by half.

As of 3rd March 2026, from the information available on the Hustler Fund webpage, the government only matches long-term savings contributions on a 2:1 ration up to a maximum of Kshs. 3000 and this only happens once in a lifetime.
