Carol Kafuna is one happy woman after she fulfilled her long-time dream of building her mother a house for years, her mother lived in deserted homes whose owners are dead
Since her mother’s husband abandoned her after marrying a second wife, Kafuna decided to wipe her mother’s tears by building her a place she can call home and started saving after getting a job as a house help.
Speaking to a trusted Kenyan news media, Kafuna narrated how her mother was forced to live in borrowed homes especially after her father abandoned her when he married a second wife.
My mum was even forced to go back to her maternal home because my dad was not taking care of her. So she would often go ask for a place to stay in homes whose owners have died.
“I was so heartbroken seeing her suffer but I decided to work hard to put a smile on her face,” she said.
Kafuna said her mum’s woes inspired the house. The troubles that her mum had while seeking a place to lay her head moved her to start saving after she got a job as a housemaid.
“I promised to build her a house and so I did a job as a house help and I started saving to fulfill the promise and finally, I have achieved this. It has just been through God’s help,” she said.
She also said that she built the spacious mud-walled house on the mum’s matrimonial piece of land near a dilapidated shanty where she previously lived next to the second wife’s homestead. Kafuna estimated the total cost of the house to be KSh 60,000 (N213k).
“I used around 60,000. Iron sheets cost me 20,000 and so if I add other items such as nails, timber, labour and other miscellaneous costs, I did not spend less than KSh 60,000,” she said.
