A widow from Laikipia has benefitted with a housing unit in commemoration of the 39th President of the United States of America, Jimmy Carter who died last month.

The house was launched on Monday in Naibor by Habitat for Humanity Kenya, an organisation which Carter was the patron.

Speaking during the construction, Rebbeca Ekale who is a mother of seven could not hide her joy noting that she had faced a lot of challenges from the previous house she owned. "I am happy with what Habitat for Humanity is doing for us here in Laikipia.

When they came to assess my house it was leaking during rainy days.
