Kenyan Lady Who Build Parents House Worth Millions Reveals How She Made the Money at 22

A young Kenyan woman has won praise online after revealing how she is building a new home for her parents using money earned from online jobs.

Yvonne Adhiambo began the project in January, when she was 22, after deciding to pull down her parents’ old house and start afresh. She is now 23 and shared a progress video that takes viewers from the construction site to a finished bathroom with marble tiles.

In the clip, the house stands at an advanced stage, with the exterior walls up, the windows fitted and the roof in place. Ceiling boards and finishing work are still outstanding.

Yvonne also laid out what she has spent so far, which adds up to more than KSh 1.7 million. Stones cost her KSh 350,000 and cement KSh 450,000, while tiles were the biggest single expense at KSh 670,000.

Windows, grills, scissor windows and doors came to KSh 270,000, and mirrors added KSh 44,000.

Anticipating questions on how someone so young could fund such a project, she said her income comes mainly from freelancing online.

She named chat moderation, AI training, app rating and hotel evaluation among the gigs she has taken up. “Ni kujituma na hizi kazi za online,” she said, meaning that it takes hard work and commitment to online jobs.

Her post has drawn admiration from Kenyans, many of whom were keen to know more about the cost of building and the kind of online work she does.
