Meet Tony Kimanzi, a painter at the Funyula Affordable Housing Project in Busia County, whose journey shows how the Affordable Housing Programme is creating opportunities that are changing lives.
Before joining the project, Tony was struggling with unemployment in Nairobi and did not have a house of his own. An opportunity came when a friend told him about work available in Busia, and he decided to make the move.
Since joining the project, Tony’s life has changed. With a stable source of income, he has been able to get a new home, support his family and provide for his parents. The opportunity has also helped him grow professionally. Having previously painted only small buildings, Tony has now gained experience and confidence in painting tall multi-storey buildings.
Tony encourages anyone who gets an opportunity at the site to give their best, work hard and remain committed, noting that with determination, better days are possible.
