ALEGO USONGA: A family residing in a dilapidated house for the past four years in Nyalgunga sub-location, Alego/Usonga sub-county, found relief when Pius Omudho (manager for Prince Indah) stepped in to build them a new house.

Lawrence Juma, his wife Beatrice Adhiambo, and their seven children endured the harsh conditions of their rundown dwelling since 2020.
