After one year of pain and suffering, 18 families that lost a total of 25 people to the Mai Mahiu dam tragedy have a reason to smile after they were resettled by well-wishers.

The 18 who are part of the over 100 families that were displaced by the flash floods were resettled in two-bedroomed houses constructed by Rotary International and Scann Foundation.
