Michelle Boit, a petroleum engineer, has made her parents' dream come true by gifting them a luxurious mansion in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County. The handover ceremony, attended by close family members and a priest, marked a significant milestone in the lives of the Boit family.
According to Michelle, she was motivated to build the house after witnessing the struggles of her friends' parents living in foreign nations. She wanted to show her appreciation for her mother's efforts in bringing her up and funding her education.
Michelle, who was schooled in the United States, had been working with Tullow Oil in Kenya before moving to a Chad-based oil company with offices in Nairobi. The mansion, a symbol of her love and gratitude, is a testament to her success and commitment to giving back to her community.
Michelle's late father was a Professor (Biochemical and Environment) at Moi University, while her mother still works as an administrator at the same university. As the firstborn in a family of three siblings, Michelle has always strived to be a role model and set a good example for her siblings.
With the mansion, Michelle hopes to inspire others to do the same and show appreciation for their parents' sacrifices. The handover ceremony was a heartwarming moment for the Boit family, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of giving back to those who have supported us throughout our lives.
