Their house was built 16 years ago, but it is currently on land owned by her husband’s sister. During the rainy season, the family struggles because the roof has holes and the metal sheets are rotten. They cannot make improvements because the land is not theirs, and they fear they may soon be asked to vacate the property. Glenda felt overjoyed when she learned that she would soon have her own home. She thanked God for putting special, kind-hearted people in her life. She is happy to know that she will be able to build her new home on her own land.
