Kenyan content creator Millicent Ayuwa, known as Dem Wa Facebook, has brought her long-time dream to life by gifting her parents a modern house in her hometown Kitale.
The emotional moment was celebrated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was attended by family, friends, and villagers who came to witness the heartwarming gesture.
In a touching video, Dem Wa Facebook struggled to hold back tears as she handed over the house to her parents.
The moment her parents stepped into their new home for the first time was filled with joy and gratitude.
The house, which features modern furnishings and high-quality interior décor, stands as a testament to her success and the hard work she has put into her career.
During the ceremony, Dem Wa Facebook expressed her heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported her throughout the journey.
She revealed that building the house in her rural village, rather than buying one in Nairobi, was a deliberate choice inspired by her desire to make a difference in her community.
Dem Wa Facebook shared her motivation behind the gesture. Her words struck a chord with many as she encouraged young women to prioritise education and personal growth over societal pressures.
“I wanted to inspire young girls in my village to make better life choices,” she said. “Stop rushing into relationships, avoid early pregnancies, and focus on building a future. I’ve become the first woman to build a house in this village; why can’t you do the same?”
She emphasised that marriage is a choice, explaining her perspective with humour: “For me, marriage is an option. With money, I can even buy a pregnancy.”
The comedian also reflected on some challenges she faced in her journey to success, including being misunderstood by her community.
She narrated how her efforts to support a girl from her village led to accusations of involvement with the Illuminati.
The girl, whom she helped secure funding from a politician to return to school, faced backlash, with villagers burning her school uniform and belongings.
“Then let me tell you something else funny. You know I like to support. There is a lady in this village that I supported.
“I looked for a politician to support him to go to school… He went to school and they said I sent him to Illuminati. They burned the uniform and everything.
“Imagine my village people, there is no illuminati. People work hard out here. The Illuminati would have grown if I hadn’t built this… whole. People work hard.”
She urged young people in her village to work hard and seize opportunities to improve their lives, emphasising that children are a blessing, but they should come at the right time.
