“Work is nearly complete, and I will be handing it over to my amazing parents. This is more than just a building project, it’s a testimony, and I give all glory to God,” he wrote.

“It’s in that very house that I earned the A’s that changed my life. It’s where I stayed each time I was sent home for school fees. That was us then,” he added.

Alongside the beautiful, nearly finished building, Silas also shared an old photo of his sister, who he said is now a lawyer and a trainee advocate at the Kenya School of Law, emphasising how far they have come.

How did Tichor Silas make it from the village?

He said he had achieved everything he has today through hard work, multiple scholarships, and unwavering trust in God.

Now a doctor, Silas said all the struggles were worth it, as the tides had finally turned in his family’s favour.

“Not by our strength, but by God’s grace and unrelenting favour. In the very spot where the old house stood, a new one now rises. A symbol of hope. Proof that God never abandons His own,” he shared.
