Kenyan entrepreneur, Leah Wambui’s rise from grass to grace is an inspiration to all hustlers.
She is indeed a beacon of hope in Africa. She is a testimony that all you need to be a self-made millionaire is time and a positive never-die attitude.
Leah is a young Kenyan lady who has beaten all odds to build multi-million dollar real estate in Kenya.
During a YouTube interview with Wode Maya, Leah revealed that she has been able to build 200 homes and achieved great feats despite living all her life in Kenya.
The revelation baffled many since several people believe that one has to be in the diaspora to achieve the success of this magnitude.
Leah explained that she had to drop out of school because she did not have the money to continue her education.
She explained that she took up a receptionist job for a few months before venturing into petty trading.
Wambui narrated that she later borrowed KSh 100,000 and topped up with her KSh 40,000 to buy a car which used to carry goods to supermarkets in various locations.
Leah explains that she started her real estate project in November 2015 with a borehole since the land was in the middle of nowhere.
She revealed that the idea behind her real estate development is to create family-type homes where children can freely express themselves, unlike in apartments. She has been able to sell out all 200 homes.
Leah Wambui’s Message to Youths
A bon mot said, the harder the battle, “the sweeter the victory”. Despite all the challenges, Leah Wambui encourages youths to go all out for their dreams. She had no regrets whatsoever for venturing into the real estate world. Whenever she gets the opportunity to speak, she seizes the opportunity to talk to youths. She once said,
“If you think opportunities don’t exist, create them. If you don’t think you can achieve what others have, no one can help you. It was the dream from looking at birds that led to the invention of the plane.”
