Dem wa Facebook shared that her decision to build the house in her parents' village was motivated by a desire to inspire young girls in her community to make better life choices.

"I built this house with people's support. I didn’t want to buy my parents a house in Nairobi. I wanted to encourage young girls in my village to stop getting early pregnancies and rushing into marriage. For me, marriage is an option because, with money, I can buy a pregnancy," she stated.

The comedian further promised to continue supporting her parents and hinted at plans to buy them cars in the near future.

The Cost of the House and Furnishings

In an interview with Milele FM’s Ankali Ray, Dem wa Facebook revealed that constructing the house cost her KSh 3 million, with an additional KSh 1 million spent on furniture and interior decor.

"Building the entire house cost KSh 3 million, and furnishing it cost about KSh 1 million. I'm an iron lady," she declared, proudly reflecting on her accomplishment.

The ceremony drew a large crowd of villagers who applauded the comedian for her generosity and dedication to uplifting her family.
