About the house

Located in Tharaka Nithi county, Baruo Village, the house has one bedroom, a sitting room, bedroom, toilet and bathroom, and a spacious kitchen.

So far, only the ceiling, front veranda and plumbing remain undone, but plans are underway to finish them then the young man will hustle on his own to expand it.

"I am proud of myself and the boy too as he has never let me down. When he is home he does all the house chores. He is so respectful."
