The house is home to 38 orphans

Standard Media reported that the structure is home to 38 orphans with the youngest of them aged two and the oldest 18. Briefly News gathered that the plastic-bottled house has a living room area, a kitchen, two bathrooms, study area and so forth.

The lady who started her charitable deeds at the age of 19 said before constructing the house for the kids, she met them in a pitiable state back in 2015.

“When we visited the orphanage in 2015, the children were living in a sorry state, the house was built with clay and makuti and the boys were sleeping in the kitchen. We saw it wasn’t the right way to live especially for orphans.”
