A lady builds her own Container Home in Kenya 

If our governments could adopt this type of accommodation for the poor, we will have less slums, this container is beautiful 👏👍🏼

African women are, regardless of different races, resilient, creative, strong, business orientated and clever. Yes I live somewhere on the African continent.

This is absolutely unconventional and amazing to see a lady who is doing a DIY. Impressive!

I just love how we can finally be compensated for telling our own stories. I pray your channel continues to grow!

Can we talk about that flawless skin though.... Beautiful.

My absolute dream in life is to live rent free. Not only that, but to also be heavily involved in building my home. This is so inspiring 😍 Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

Love this! The magnets for that picture was genius 👏🏾 👌🏾

I love this house. The layout is practical and attractive, it has adequate space, and is neatly organised. You have done an amazing job.

I envy you. Being able to live rent free is aweosome. Also, excellent job on the staircase. Its beautiful.

I see you helping others achieve their goals of home ownership in the future. A blueprint step by step especially with the paperwork.

She is absolutely gorgeous but her spirit is even more beautiful. Great job on this build. Container homes are affordable to purchase, practical, safe, environmentally friendly and can be a great cost saving option for DIYers. There's no good reason why politicians and national leaders with all their money, power, resources and influence can't allow them to be easily constructed in countries like Haiti where it seems like there's an earthquake every 10 years. Instead, they'd rather see their citizens continuously face homelessness and abject poverty. It's incredibly sad and pathetic.

Omg this is amazing to me…in my country we could get so many families off the streets and create places for veterans and domestic violence victims/survivors if our our government would do something like this. Props to you darlin! Amazing! 👏🏽

This is amazing. This would solve a huge part of homelessness. She is amazing. I love that house and would happily live in it. They built prefabs after the war in the UK and people loved them. Why not do something like that. If individuals can achieve this big gangs of volunteers would help. Better still recruit people and give them a job. WELL DONE YOU. I'm so glad I came across your channel.

I see the lil mature girl you were over ten years ago in primary. Such a commendable job/project Grace. Proud of you. ❤️

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what the unsuccessful only do occasionally

This is incredible. I love seeing strong women no matter where they are in the world, be so creative and beautiful ♥️😁

People should invest in land and build these for their family especially once children get grown. It would allow them their adult space but still enjoy their family. Also if they move away they can still have a family land to call home if they ever visit or want to move back. 🙌❤️

I am so proud of you sister. I live in Jamaica and myself have utilised containers creatively, You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing

I am so excited to see my people are now venturing to this lifestyle. I have been seeing this trend in the states for the past ten years. Loving It❤️❤️

My gosh, you are so talented and amazing! I could never dream of doing something like this. I would love to see you spearheading a project geared towards building dignified houses like this for poor and low income persons in your country. Wonderfully done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I am so impressed. I love how you have two containers. So you could have bedrooms upstairs. The balcony from your room is very impressive. Great job lady. And you are so beautiful.

This is beautiful. I visited Kenya for 5 weeks in 1975, the best experience of my life. I was mostly in the Nairobi area but had a week in Mombasa, was able to walk across the equator, and even to see the watering hole overnight at Treetops. I left a part of my heart with the people I met there.

You did a WONDERFUL job on your home, it's lovely! I'm so proud of you for doing it all by yourself. Thank you for sharing, your an inspiration for sure!

I think this is a fantastic home! Love the idea of using magnets to hang the painting it is brilliant. I love the fact that she took charge of doing the closet the way she wanted to. I bet the carpenter didn't think she could do it. Men forget that women can do anything they set their mind to. The stairs are great I love that they don't take up the interior living space of the home. Love the balcony outside the bedroom what a lovely place to great the day. I would love to live in a container home like that one.

How I wish I could get a 1000 container homes for the Internally Displaced living in my country and one for myself also,I love it! Welldone Grace

On stormy nights, I bet the sound of rain hitting the roof is amazinggggg you've done a wonderful job with this

Excellent vision. This is the first container presentation I have seen where the owner cleverly realized she could use magnets to hang and saved spaces with metal rather than plastering walls.

It is "Home Sweet Home" house. It is amazing to have a house for ourselves, our own. You can design it, where you feel comfortable and relaxed.

This container home is beautiful! Really love this project.

I love this the only thing I would change is to build a toilet on the bottom container for guess maybe under the stairs

Aww my beautiful sister … how lovely your home is !!! I’m in awe !!!! Well done ! And such an inspirational message for us all !!!

You can tell that a lot thought went into the creation of this lovely home! You did a great job!👌🏿

Watching a Kenyan one is awesome, I have always been a fun of watching tiny houses kwa real time

The idea behind having magnets was just brilliant! Totally love how you made so much space out of two containers. Container homes is definitely a thing

She only need a plaster board to cover the metals and some but of insulation and she is done ..well done sis I really really appreciate your effort

First of all, I love your cats! Your home is beautiful. The materials you used are great. The windows everywhere opens it up adding in light. Very well thought out. The painting is gorgeous.

I love the home, this is what I want to do is build a container home myself. you did a wonderful home.

I can't believe you got so much space out of two small containers is beautiful 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😍😍😍

OMG I love her house and I love the pride that she has in showing her house. Had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching this 🙂

This is not also amazing, it is creative, thoughtful, mind blowing and it solves a lotttt of problems including waste and homelessness. How I’d wish it would be adopted to help a lot of people out there. You’re simply outstanding, thank you!

Hello Family! Thank you so much for the support. I have shared a video on the costings. The video explains a bit about the process of building a container house. Thank you for the patience. Keep watching.

This is so nice,and it would be so nice if every one could have a house like this instead of what many in the world have to live in !

This is absolutly beautiful 🤩 love your creative genius the conception of the whole house and style 😳 is crazy and i love it❤️TFS Congrats keep going 👌

👏👏👏👏wooow Being a tiny house enthusiast, this has made me so happy. I thought this was only in newzealand. I am proud of you

This is the way to go for all the millennials in this beautiful country of ours, well done..

So impressed. Definitely one of the better layouts I’ve seen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grace, you have done a great job with your Tiny-house. May you always have a smile on your face, love in your heart, and happiness within your Soul... Abrazos

It is wonderful to see you getting on with your life, not waiting around for someone else to provide. I love container properties and anything related to living tiny. I think adding security more locks on your lower doors would be advisable. Stay safe and blessed.

This is wonderful! I’ve been researching shipping container homes to build a guest/pool house on my land that I will live in while I am building my main home. I am planning to complete my entire home build project without loans so that I can live mortgage free. I am going for a lux design just in case I need to rent out the guest home for addt’l income. This video gives me a lot of insight and encouragement that I am on the right track (and not in over my head as a divorced mom). Beautiful job! Thank you for sharing and can’t wait to see more!

I swear you are living my dreeeaammm! I'm so happy because I see that it's possible.

I love how spacious this home appears, while still being modest. Grace is very clever, indeed! Thanks for sharing.

People here in the U.S. have been building and living in these tiny homes for some years now. This is a very nice little house and I'm glad they're now building them in the Mother Land.

I live in Texas the tiny house is becoming so popular. You did a wonderful job on your home. It is very beautiful love the 2 story. The ones I see you can’t stand in your bedroom. I like that about your house and of course what women doesn’t like having closet space lol. Thank you for sharing! 🤗

Woow. The first home container home I'm seeing in Kenya that ain't commercial. You did an awesome job. You have an amazing home❤️❤️. You're also such an organised narrator.

Grace, you are beautiful! Congratulations on the house. I admire your ingenuity!

Sooo happy I came across this video! It’s lovely and inspiring to see African women getting involved in this style of living as well as owning property ✨

It’s the quality finishings and inventiveness for me…love this so much🤩congrats on your lovely home 🏡

One word to describe it simply good and classy

Beautiful lady, beautiful home and her beautiful love of her beautiful pets 😻

Great video. Container homes would definitely solve a lot of housing problems around the world. It’s also a good way to recycle or reuse containers.

This is honestly so good to watch. The magnets on the art really blew me away! Good job, Grace!

Subscribed majorly because it’s Kenyan, after following so many build channels for the same getting something close to home and having tailored solutions etc is better. Great stuff and lovely home

Awesome, I love this. This proofs that if we are willing as humans, we can solve at least 80% of all our problems.

I’m so proud of you!! I love your home and your DYI projects…you go girl!!

GRACE has some : GREAT IDEAS,BEAUTIFUL HOME. SO INVENTIVE.

Well done Grace, this is such a beautiful house. I'm impressed. I also like the fact that you've got s dog and many cats and you treat them well; it says a lot about your character. May God bless, guide, protect and prosper you and your family in Jesus' name. Lots of love from the UK ❤️❤️❤️

This place is bigger and much nicer than some apartments. This is the way to go to get rid of slums and shacks.

I LOVE that you thought of the magnets to hang your art. Innovative AND mobile if you want to switch out your pieces. Brilliant!

love that am actually seeing this taking shape in Kenya

This is lovely, I am a few years from having my kids move out to university and would love such a home.

Brillant for a beginner! Continued grace and mercy. Peace and blessings SIS!❤⚘

I don’t live in a container house but we were looking to use one for a addition to our home. I love what you have done and the picture idea is great.

Grace when you said you took over the making of your closet/clothes shelving from the Carpenter and finished it yourself, my heart thrilled and I said "kudos to you lady". Because that's what I would have done myself, as a lady myself I just love working with hammer and saw and nails, oh the whole lot. You go lady, I applaud you wholeheartedly, want to build my own Tiny Home one day.

She is beautiful, strong and has a charming soft voice. Black women are very industrious. Here in the US, the privileged white ladies wouldn't even know how to hold a drill!

I love your floors and the magnets behind the painting.

Grace-this is beautiful! I love the sophisticated simplicity of it all!!!

I was intrigued by your staircase when I first noticed it. It is a beautiful style. Your windows are quite interesting as well. The whole project is quite nice.

Sterling Job. May be, just may be, I thought also, a staircase from the outside to the balcony woulda been nice, instead of may be having friends go through your bedroom whenever you're hosting a BBQ... It can still be done on a minimal budget, yes?

Your house is lovely,tidy, clean and liveable and also looks very comfortable. I love your glass doors I think that enchants the beauty more 😍

You and your home are beautiful!!! Your skin is flawless... Keep up the blessed work 🙏🏼💜

Congrats for your beautiful house! Sincerely, Veronica from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

It's really beautiful and the kitchen space is a good idea that landlords should embrace.

I love how airy and spacious the house feels despite being a container house. Awesome job👏👏.

I absolutely love this DIY. The light on the staircase is amazing and the magnets on the picture is truly awesome.

Nice little space, I've been a fan of container houses for a while. The magnet idea for hanging pictures - BRILLIANT! 👏🏻

This turned out really great Grace! It's a brilliant and functional space and the magnets idea is really cool! Cheers!

This is beautiful, a friend converted one that was used to ship her furnitures into a bedroom and bathroom for her pool guest house and it is beautiful.

I think that eventhough if we are poor and don't have enough money to build a big house, by having the right actitude, we can live confortable and have a clean and small house. Congratulation! I really like your tiny house. Greetings from Mexico ❤

The art piece in the stairway is absolutely beautiful. and so is your entire home.

This is so inspirational!!!! I love your space.

Girl, you have done an awesome job, it’s amazing what you can do with a couple of containers, the right vision and determination.

Wow, so modern yet so practical!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Way to go, and to be honest; it’s not just your country woman are viewed in such a manner. I feel as though woman have taken a hit world wide and it was impactful let me tell you. Continue to create and dream your a shining Star! ♥️😇

Well done, everything is so incredibly well thought, goes to prove that more women should move into the Build space.

I love this home! It’s beautiful and looks bigger then 192 sq feet. Love it!

I am so impressed and proud of you. I've always dreamed of owning a container home and this encourages me a lot. God bless you on your next project.

first kenyan container home i've seen. shukran. ni nzuri mashallah i lovd the lighting and the kitchen and the cats and the magnets GENIUS!!

I love that painting. Africa has so many creative artists. I got a couple when I went to Ghana. We call that a canvas painting in the U.S.. Your house is very nice, compact and cozy. Its just enough room for you and your cats which are adorable.

This is so very cool. Congratulations. What an accomplishment! (So smart with the magnets! And what a beautiful painting.)

Absolutely, beautiful..,!
