Kenyan singer Vivian Wambui, now based in the United States, has offered fans an exclusive look at a significant project underway back home—a family residence being built in Katani, Machakos County, approximately 26km from Nairobi's central business district.

In a video shared on Instagram on August 17, Vivian enthusiastically guided viewers through the construction site, revealing key features of the property. The house boasts a deep foundation with about six layers of blocks to address the swampy terrain common in Katani, ensuring durability and stability.

The structure incorporates quality steel walling and large window openings designed to create bright, airy living spaces. Visible in the footage was also a staircase foundation, confirming plans for an upper floor. A water storage tank has already been installed on the premises.

Vivian explained the importance of a solid base in this area, emphasizing that the home is intended for herself, her children, and her partner. She expressed joy and satisfaction with the progress and the work of the construction team.

Accompanying the video, she reflected on this phase as a fresh chapter in her life, sharing the challenges and excitement of managing the build. Fans responded warmly, congratulating her on the progress and new beginnings.
