"I decided that I will work hard for my baby to get the best. I think I was working hard with a lot of anger to change my life. That's why I was able to finish the house," Otieng said.

She also had savings for her baby and she decided to use them to build the rentals which she recently finished.

The hardworking Busia woman said she gifted her five-year-old daughter the rentals to heal the pain they went through when the landlord closed their house due to rent arrears.

"I gifted her the houses to wipe the tears we cried when the landlord was locking our house. I vowed to make her a landlady at this tender age," she said.
