House Renovation for Mama Grace

Mama Grace is a 78-year-old widow who has lived in the same small house in Kawangware for over 40 years. Over time, the house had fallen into serious disrepair — the roof leaked during every rainy season, the windows were broken, and the floor was cracked and uneven. When we learned about Mama Grace's situation, we knew we had to help. We launched an internal fundraising drive among our staff and partners, and within two weeks we had raised enough to cover materials and labour. Over three weekends, a team of Code4Genius volunteers worked alongside local builders to replace the roof, install new windows, repair the floor, and repaint the interior. By the end of the project, Mama Grace had a dry, warm, and safe home — and tears of joy in her eyes.
