The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development has made home ownership a reality for a lady who was thrown out of a rental house due to rent arrears.
The formerly homeless woman, Milka Moraa, has been made a forerunner of Kenya's Affordable Housing Programme, after receiving a house through the government-backed affordable housing initiative.
Moraa, who previously struggled with housing challenges including congestion in her small shanty in Mukuru Kwa Njenga Nairobi, will soon move into a more spacious unit promised amenities, conducive and secure environment, thanks to a collaborative effort led by police officer Corporal Sammy Ondimu and the State Department for Housing and Urban Development.
At a press conference organised by the Ministry at Ardhi House Nairobi on Wednesday, Moraa expressed gratitude for the opportunity. "I thank God for this chance and for those who have supported me," she said.
