Etemesi Ambunya, a Kenyan content creator, has opened up about her family's decades-long struggle with a leaking, weathered house and the emotional milestone of finally building her mother a proper home.
Posting on Instagram, Ambunya shared that her family spent 25 years in a modest concrete house with a corrugated metal roof, making small modifications over the years but never quite escaping its limitations.
She described how rain was perhaps the hardest part of that chapter, turning ordinary downpours into a household emergency as water seeped through the roof and threatened their belongings.

Despite the hardship, the house became the backdrop for a childhood shared between siblings, captured in a vintage family photo she included in her post.
Construction on a new house began in 2024, a decision she described as rooted in faith.
