Nancy Odindo, a journalist at TUKO.co.ke, brings more than three years of experience covering politics, news, and feature stories across digital and print media in Kenya.

The aftermath of the Mai Mahiu flood tragedy continues to inflict substantial losses upon its victims, with homes, property and lives swept away in its wake.

Among those affected is Vero Waithera, currently employed in Saudi Arabia, who expresses profound sorrow at being thrust back to square one by the calamity.

Waithera recounts the heartache of watching the house she painstakingly constructed with her hard-earned savings being washed away, leaving her with nothing.

She reflects on the arduous journey she endured to see the completion of her home, now tragically undone by the merciless floodwaters.

"God I do not know where to start but all my savings and the house I was building in Mai Mahiu all is gone. I do not know where to start from God. The way I have sacrificed so much working in this country. God why me? everything is gone. I am left with nothing. Everything has been carried away by the rains," Waithera cried.
