The 5.3 billion Kenyan shilling complex also includes 104 shops, a daycare, a primary school, and recreational facilities like playgrounds, green spaces, a clubhouse, a swimming pool, basketball courts, and a football field. The construction project employed local artisans from the Jua Kali association. In Eldoret, 84 of these associations received contracts worth 264 million shillings.
Across the North Rift region, these opportunities totaled 3.8 billion shillings, and reached 61 billion shillings nationally. The project also supported local artists. Painters and artists decorated the building facades, creating jobs in the creative economy.
