"Shangazi has built for us. In my house, there is a bed. When it gets to 7 pm, you just get into your bed because of the darkness. We have never seen electricity," said Fardosa.
Shangazi, who brought them to Nairobi, narrated how excited they were to try the lift. Fardosa, out of curiosity, left Lulu and her host slightly laughing with her reaction.
"What if you fall? It was going up with us. What if people fall?" she said.
She also noted how excited she was to see the buildings and asked if she could find someone to build her a big house.
"I feel so good. My house was so bad, when it rained, I would stand in the middle carrying my child. Or I would go to the neighbour's place, and sometimes she would chase me because she had her husband. I actually want someone who will build me a storey-building like this. I want a storey-building," she further said.
