A NEW MODERN HOUSE FOR MZEE MUCHOKI’S FAMILY
About a month ago, on April 7th, 2018, I was touched by the plight of Mzee Christopher Muchoki and his wife Ann.
I was on my way back home after a successful benchmarking tour in Nyeri County when I was informed of a Mzee who knows me very well from news media reports but whose life is miserable due to abject poverty.
I visited Mzee Muchoki and found out he had gone blind and was living in a shack. I remembered my days growing up in a mud house in Kibera and later in a wooden structure with a mud floor up to my 20s and felt compelled to change this family’s life. I know how it is and how it feels to be very poor.
I spoke with Lillian and we agreed to build a new home for him so that he can have a decent shelter for the remaining days of his life.
We have kept our promise.
Today, we have handed the keys to Mzee Muchoki’s family of a fully furnished, new, modern house that has a seating area, two bedrooms, toilet/bathroom and kitchen. We have also installed a water tank and connected the house to electricity. The house is perfect for him and his wife and I hope it will provide them with daily comforts.
God desires for us to have a good life here on earth. I thank him for enabling us to do his work. Life is about living every day comfortably with basic needs taken care of and it is a blessing to make the life of others better.
I wish to thank Lillian for embracing this work. I thank the contractor Sam Njoroge of HOMEX for constructing a beautiful house in a Chap Chap manner, using new technology.
When I requested others who felt touched to help furnish the house, I received positive replies. Thank you to the following who supported this work:
Mr. Daniel Ndambuki alias Churchill for a flat screen TV;
Mr. Chege Macharia - Utensils
Mr and Mrs. Peter & Annete Mahu Muthee of Golden Pearl Properties for sofa sets, beds, mattresses and bed sheets;
Mr. Githaiga Wanjohi - a heavy duty Mattress;
Mr. Jimmy Kairu of White Rhino Hotel- water tank;
Annie Ndirangu of Endelea Decor - Curtains;
Mr and Mrs George & Rachael Maina of Mercy Mission Foundation - a table;
Hon. MCA Julia Wanjiku - food items;
Hon. Wakili J.S: Ndegwa - a milk goat;

I wish to thank Philip Njau alias MOHA and the superb Nyeri Maendeleo Chap Chap team for assisting in ferrying the donated furniture and cleaning Mzee Muchoki’s new home and making it ready for occupation.
God bless you all sana na awaongezee.
For years now, Lillian and I have been privately engaged in improving the lives of some of us who have fallen through the cracks into hardships. We are committed to continuously give back to society as we do God’s work.
