Before United Kenya Rising came into our lives, my children and I lived in a small mud house that leaked every time it rained. We felt unsafe and forgotten. Today, we sleep in a solid, dignified home that gives us peace, privacy, and hope. The support from UKR didn’t just give us a house—it gave us a foundation to rebuild our lives. We now feel valued and ready to rise
