"My life is totally different the fact that I now have a smart permanent house. I constructed a spacious and a better house because my family is big and it could not accommodate us all. The walls are well plastered which my making us sleep so comfortable unlike before where the walls had holes all over it was affecting us, especially in the cold nights. My children were ever sick which was really stressing me. I am now a happy parent because my children no longer have to look for a place to sleep at night. My two children were sleeping at my neighbor's house. Secondly, they do their studies at night without any interference. I am so grateful to this organization because I was not expecting to own a permanent house anytime soon."
