The 25-year-old teacher, known as @lusanda_jiba, shared her journey on social media, documenting the process of constructing the home from the ground up.
Having spent one year and two months working abroad, the daughter felt compelled to repay her mother’s unwavering support by channeling the fruits of her labor into a tangible gift.
With pride in her accomplishment at such a young age, she reflected on her decision to sacrifice her comfort at 24 to pursue opportunities in Korea.
The video she posted on TikTok showcased the entire construction process, capturing the transformation of a dream into reality as the house took shape, culminating in a fully roofed home where her mother could find solace and security.
