Why More Kenyans Are Building Grand Homes in Their Villages

For many Kenyans living in towns and cities, the idea of building a big, beautiful home in their village may seem unusual. But some are proving otherwise.

Take Morris Wambua, for example. Whenever he visits his countryside home in Mang’elete village, Makueni County, he feels at peace. To him, that home is more than just a place to stay. It’s a retreat, a place to reconnect with family and nature.

Then there’s Steve Juma from Rarieda, Siaya County. He often shares photos of his large, elegant house on social media. It shows how much he values his village home.
