A HOME IN RUINS, A MOTHER IN PAIN: RUSIA KWAMBOKA’S CRY FOR SHELTER AND HOPE

In the heart of Kisii County, Nyamarandi Village in Marani Ward, Kitutu Chache North Constituency, heavy rains continue to expose the struggles of vulnerable families as homes are turned into unsafe shelters.

Among those deeply affected is the family of Rusia Kwamboka, a resilient mother living with her children in a deteriorating house that is on the verge of collapse. Rainwater freely pours through the leaking roof, leaving them exposed to harsh weather conditions and forcing them to endure sleepless and difficult nights.

Rusia’s situation is made even more painful by the absence of her husband, who disappeared many years ago and has never been traced. Left alone, she shoulders the burden of providing for her children under extremely difficult circumstances. School fees remain a challenge, food is often uncertain, and daily survival is a constant struggle.

Despite the hardships, her plea remains simple and heartfelt. She is appealing to well-wishers, leaders, and people of goodwill to come to her aid and help her build a safe and decent home for her family.

She dreams of a future where her children can study without interruption, sleep in a secure and dry house, and live with dignity away from fear of collapsing walls and leaking roofs.

As the rains continue in Nyamarandi, the story of Rusia Kwamboka’s family stands as a powerful reminder of resilience in the face of hardship—and the life-changing impact of compassion and support.
