A group of women in Runyenjes constituency has started an initiative to build brick-houses houses to shelter the needy and the vulnerable community members. Through their group, Touching Heavens, they have built about 20 brick-walled and iron-roofed houses in Runyenjees with plans to expand to other constituencies.
