My name is Ibrahim, and for the past seven years, I’ve been struggling financially. I’ve had to rely on odd jobs (vibarua) in the village to survive. A few months ago, my father passed away, leaving behind several acres of prime land. My siblings and I have agreed to divide the land, and I’m set to receive three acres.

In my area, plots go for between Sh450,000 and Sh600,000 each. If I sell the land, I could make up to Sh14.4 million, which would give me a fresh start in life. After all these years of struggle, I’m desperate to turn my life around.
