The young man told Briefly News:

"Grandma had always wished to have a house. I started building the house on February 18, 2023, my birthday. I only had KSh 50,000. I brought a lorry of sand and building blocks. On that day, my grandma made a powerful prayer. It has taken me three months to complete this project. As a structural engineer, I designed and managed the construction of the house by myself. I hired people to help me."

Eating ugali and fried blood from slaughterhouses

During the handover ceremony, Mwangi, his granny, narrated their past struggles and the hardships she went through.

"While blessing us during the house handover, grandma said we used to eat ugali and fried blood collected from slaughterhouses. When we visited home as adults, we could not sleep in a one-bedroom house because there was no space.

A happy Njoki expressed her delight as she prayed for her thoughtful grandson, who brought her wish to fruition.

"I have never imagined sleeping in a stone house made for the rich. It has attracted attention in the community and they are now calling it ‘nyumba ya mzungu’ (the white house). God will always answer your prayers, however long it takes," she said.
