Maryann Anyango could not hide her joy as she explained how she had saved up the money to build the mud-walled house for her family.
The mother said she started with iron sheets for five years, but due to financial constraints, she could not begin the construction process immediately.
"During the five years, I saved money, and we started building in December. I actually had a previous house, but I now wanted a big one that could accommodate me and my family, which is why I started saving for this new house," she said.
