An elderly woman from Othach sub-location in Yimbo East ward, Siaya County was all smiles after a well-wisher built for her a house.

Mary Agutu was overjoyed after she was given a brand-new house, ushering in a new chapter in her life.

It was her day to celebrate after living in a relative's house after her house collapsed more than five years ago.

Agutu, who is in her 80s and a widow, was also gifted goodies as she entered her new house to start her new life.
