From a domestic worker in Saudi Arabia to landlord in Kenya

When Zipporah Nyokabi left the village in Limuru, Kiambu County in 2011 to go to Saudi Arabia as a migrant domestic worker, she had a dream. Her dream was to use her earnings to uplift her family from abject poverty and set them on a path of economic empowerment.

Today, Nyokabi is content with what she has achieved and she is now the talk of Bibirioni village because of her achievements. Hers is a story of rags-to-riches after building a two-storey block of residential houses and turning her mother’s mud house into a four-bedroom bungalow still under construction.
