Persons with disabilities all over the world constitute 15% of the world population. However, most of them do not work. In both developed and developing countries, unemployment and underemployment rate of PWDs is higher than those without disabilities, hence disproportionately poorer. They should therefore be encouraged, promoted and supported to become self- employed, to develop their entrepreneurship capacity or even own and operate their business. Lifting them and their families out of poverty would contribute to the achievement of inclusive growth and sustainable development. The Government of Kenya enacted an Act of parliament, Persons with Disabilities Act, No 14 of 2003, to provide for the rights of persons with disabilities, to achieve equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities; to establish the NCPWD and the National Development Funds; promotion and protection of diverse range of disability rights, including accessibility, non- discrimination, equality before the law and the equalization of opportunities in education, employment and health services, and inclusion of PWDs in mainstream society. Economic empowerment fund has been set aside by the government of Kenya with the aim of transforming the lives of persons with disabilities. The study sought to investigate the effect of empowerment funds on the living standard of people with disabilities in Kericho County, Kenya. Specifically, the study focused on the following specific objectives: to find out the impact of vocational training on the living standard of people with disabilities, to determine the impact of formal employment on the living standard of people with disabilities, to establish the impact on self-employment on the living standard of people with disabilities and to evaluate the impact of economic empowerment fund on the living standard of people with disabilities. The study was guided by equity theory, human capital theory and label theory. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect the fund has had on the standard of living of the beneficiaries within Kericho County and determine whether it meets its objectives. The researcher sought to establish whether there are any socio-economic effects on the lives of the beneficiaries. The researcher employed case study as this design provided an in-depth investigation into the events without manipulation and without changing the state of the environment. The target population for the study was 200 persons with disabilities. The study used questionnaire as the main instrument for collecting primary data. Purposive sampling technique was employed in obtaining the research respondents in the study. The researcher used simple random sampling design to select 50% of the target persons with disabilities from Kericho County. Therefore the sample for the study will be 100 persons with disabilities. The study found that all the independent variables (vocational training, formal employment, self-employment and economic empowerment fund) had a significant impact on the living standard of people with disabilities. The researcher wanted to find out how PWDs access information about the fund and also the strategies put in place by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, (NCPD) to sensitize them about the fund. The findings of the study will be useful to the government in revising the policy framework with regard to utilization of empowerment fund and that the scholars will benefit from the study findings through provision of literature and future reference
