Kakamega lady working as househelp in Saudi Arabia buys land, builds houses to rent
A Kakamega lady who works as a housekeeper in Saudi Arabia has purchased two property pieces and constructed rental homes
Linet Omusula reached this milestone after working there for 10 years. Despite the difficulties, she stated the experience gave her life incredible significance.
In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, Omusula claimed that after purchasing the two plots of property, she began developing rents on one of them in 2020.
“I started with six rooms, the ones painted green and orange, which I built in 2020. Then the other one I started last year in June and completed this year September,” she said.
She said she last visited home in 2017 and plans to return after she finally builds her own home.
“I hear people say that the money from Saudi is ‘cursed’ but I really disagree with that statement. With prayers, commitment and discipline one can achieve.
Saudi has made a proud person. It has removed me from grass to grace,” Omusala said.
Though the income from her Saudi job has helped her build wealth and acquire assets, Omusala admitted the job has not been without difficulties.
“I work in a family of 10, and the challenges are too much, but I thank God because he has helped me overcome them. The house is actually big, and I clean it, cook, iron and do many other house chores. Sometimes, I am insulted but I ignore because I know I have a bigger goal,” she said.
She said through her experience working as a house girl in Kenya and Saudi, she prefers her boss from the middle-east country.
