Devotha did menial jobs to make ends met
The media reported that Devotha couldn't continue her education due to financial constraints.
Thanks to a village priest, she got enrolled in a technical school where she acquired knowledge in construction and set her mind to building her mum a house - as they actually had no place of their own.
Devotha did menial jobs like laundry to raise the money she used in buying a parcel of land and eventually began building on it.
Devotha's mum was surprised her daughter was building her a house
Though it has been roofed, it is still not close to completion. But the lady's gesture stunned the mum who couldn't help but shower her encomiums.
"I didn't know that Devotha could do this for me.
"She has spent 8 years doing this and she did more than enough.
"She is my hero and I am very grateful and will always be grateful,'' Devotha's mum said.
Devotha revealed that she did all the construction work herself.
"I bought the iron sheets, got the wood and everything on this house."

Martha stated that she was depressed when after finishing college, she could not get where to work. With prayers and faith, Toyota Forklift called her for an interview and her life turned around.
Since the lady got the job four years ago, she has been saving from her salary. Martha said it is a thing in a family to always give back to people who have helped you.
