Philanthropist and Musician Karangu Muraya shared photos of the house being built for a viral boy identified as Baby Maina who asked for help online.
Muraya posted on his social media pages on Friday, February 17, announcing that the house will be officially opened before the end of February 2023.
"Jehovah has done it for Baby Maina's family. We are almost 95 per cent complete. We will hand it over soon to all who support this ministry. May Jehovah enlarge your territories," he wrote.
The house was built after wellwishers contributed to help the young boy whose appeal went viral online. The young boy noted he was selling second-hand clothes.
"I am in class one and I work in the market in the mitumba business with my friend Kamau. He pays me well," the young boy stated.
After a hard day's work, Maina noted he gave his mother the money for food and other household essentials.
Maina and his family were living deplorably in a mud house covered with rusted iron sheets.
On the other hand, the new ultramodern house has several amenities including a kitchen, washroom, and spacious living room. The inside is decorated with bright colours that light up the rooms.
Its exterior is made of alluring exposed brick and a strip of ruby maroon colour complete with roofing tiles in burgundy.
The progress was lauded by Kenyans who were touched by Muraya's kind gesture and that of other well-wishers that contribute to helping needy children and families.
"Givers are never disappointed by good work. In due time, you will reap what you sow. May the Lord remember your passion for everything you have done," one remarked.
On January 5, 2023, Muraya received Ksh300,000 from well-wishers to be used in building the young boy a house and also buying food.
In addition, Kameme FM journalist Muthee Kiengei alongside other partners vowed to ensure the boy's education was catered for.
From January, the philanthropist was sharing the progress of the house aimed at alleviating the family of the young boy.
