The man from Muguga, who identifies himself as Kahii Ga Cucu, narrated that he was raised in a humble background, being that his parents passed on, and he and his brother were left under the care of his grandmother, who also died as he was in college.
Speaking exclusively to TUKO.co.ke, the man narrated that shortly after his grandmother's death, he faced financial constraints and he had to drop out of college.
"This is when I started working as a boda boda rider because I have a brother whom I had to take care of. I was at first employed as a boda boda rider before I managed to buy a second-hand motorcycle," he narrated.
It was while working as a body boda rider that he started purchasing iron sheets to build his own home.
Having been raised in challenging conditions, Kahii wanted the security of having a home that he could call his own.
"It may be a mabati house, but I actually spent over a million because it has a specific design, as you can see. I also furnished it with quality furniture and appliances to give me the comfort that I desired as a child," he said.
The rider is an employer, having bought three more bodas that his employees are operating.
Giving back to community
Kahii is also into giving back to the community, and he started an initiative to feed street children twice a week.

"I have known the pain of going hungry, and so I use my time on Fridays and Mondays to feed street children. I have also managed to have others go home and had other women living on the streets get rental houses," he said, adding that this gives him fulfillment in his life.
