"I move blocks from one place to another and mix sand with cement. I even know the ratio: one bag of cement goes with three wheelbarrows of sand. When you go to the site, you have to know these things. I do many jobs as long as my kids have something to eat and go to school," she said with a smile.
Since the Nyeri woman parted with her husband of 14 years, she admitted life was difficult with many responsibilities weighing down on her shoulder.
She could not sit back and do nothing about her situation with financial obligations such as rent, school fees and shopping.
"It has been stressful. It has not been easy because I have a house to pay for, educate my kids, and provide food," she added.

The singer working in a mjengo left netizens wondering whether it was a lack of money or it was his construction site.
Others argued that the singer might be working on a music video and the clip was meant to set the mood for him to drop it.
"Most celebs who end up broke usually get carried away with lavish lifestyles and find their bank accounts empty and their lives in chaos.
Some celebrities make bad investments, squander their fortunes on things that would not make sense sometimes try to live beyond their means," one netizen said.
