I'm a Ugandan working in Dubai as a house maid. I'm sick and tired of working away from my kids. I want to get back home and put a mabbaati house of two rooms in my plot and hustle from home, other than waiting to raise a lot of money and put up a permanent house to stay. It's just that I'm a little nervous and worried, I don't know whether I'm planning right or wrong.
@DIYKenya 21 күн бұрын
Hi Phionah, great to hear from you! I understand your situation. Wanting to be with your kids is a strong reason to want to go back to Uganda. Building a mabati house and hustling from home sounds like a practical step. Sometimes we wait too long for perfect conditions, which keeps us stuck. Just keep in mind that if your job in Dubai provides financial stability, you may want to balance that with your desire to be home, so you can also give your children the life you believe they deserve (I’m guessing that’s one reason you left Uganda 🤗). Trust your instincts, and I know you’ll make the right decision. Wishing you all the best ❤️

@DIYKenya 3 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Indeed, it's not cheap. However, the 15k includes the whole counter, the shelves, and the table. It's a lot of storage and the mdf boards are usually pricey (4k each). I also did it incrementally which made the build process affordable and less tasking. We figured it would have been difficult to find something that matched our needs too.

@DIYKenya 3 ай бұрын
Thank you! It was a very good decision for us and the girls love it! About the gvt curriculum, the short answer is no. Kenya does not have a clear curriculum for homeschoolers. However, as a parent, you have a plethora of options you can choose from. I use the current CBC (because I do standardized testing), but I have removed and added a few things to accomodate for other curriculums, as well as my kids' interests.
