Visitors have been streaming to a home in Rwacumari village on the foot of Nguirubi hills in Limuru, Kiambu County.
Something unexpected happened recently that made the mud-walled house a magnet for people from far and wide.
Indescribable joy has since filled the single-roomed house, which has numerous gaping holes which makes it possible for those inside to see everything happening outside.
The good news is that residents of this humble home, Mary Muthoni and her husband Samuel Muranga, have been blessed with triplets and this has thrown the whole village into a celebratory mood.
The villagers have a good reason to celebrate: The last time triplets were born in that area, according to Ms Purity Mwaura, was 15 years ago, and even then joy swept across the village like a conflagration.
But there is a another reason the current birth of triplets is a big deal. The lucky couple and even the villagers had despaired that the two will ever get another child besides their first-born Joseph Muiruri. They have unsuccessfully been trying to get their second child since 2011.
Muthoni had already suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages and when she announced that she had fallen pregnant again, this sent chills down her her husband's spine.
Her husband was devastated further when Muthoni came back from hospital one day with news that she was carrying triplets.
"When we were told that we will have triplets, I thought we were going to lose another three babies. Initially, I was too careful to get excited, as the three miscarriages were not far from my mind," Muranga, a charcoal trader said yesterday.
Muthoni, 24, received her bundles of joy on November 15, 2015 at Nazareth Hospital in Kiambu, and the joy in the village has never receded.
The children are Mary Watai, Gladys Njeri and Monicah Wanjiru. The first to arrive was Watai who is named after her grandmother. They were born through Cesarean section and all weighed 1.7kg at birth.
"I thank God for this miracle in our family and for answering our prayers. I feel like all were given back to us. We had gone through challenging times but the end result was worth it. They are our angels and have brought blessings in our family," a happy Muthoni said.
Muthoni explained that because of he miscarriages, she had to undergo a scan every month.
"After running the scanner over my stomach, the doctor one day informed me that I was expecting triplets. It was a combination of joy and shock. God was giving me back what I had lost. But due to the level of poverty we are in, I knew it would be difficult take care of them all."
But as her husband puts it, children are a blessing from God and its Him who knows what they eat.
And true to his word, visitors knock their door every day since his wife brought the bundles of joy home, bringing with them blessings; food and clothing for the children.
In fact, they have brought more than this. One day, the Good Samaritans came from all directions carrying building materials, and the same day, built them a two-roomed iron sheet house.
"I was very excited when I saw people coming to my home with iron sheets and posts to build for me a house. They did not ask me for any payment and they built the house swiftly in one day. People also visit with foodstuff and clothing. People from as far as Kitengela who have learned about us through friends call us and ask for directions to our home. They don't come empty-handed," Muthoni says with a broad smile.
