How this former teacher built a Multibillion hidden resort in Mbiuni, Machakos and his life lessons
Today, Mr.Kitonga owns a Multibillion hidden resort in Mbiuni, Machakos. A very beautiful place built on a hill. But this former high school teacher knows what it means to hustle your way up.
Upon winning a green card to America, he started his life from scratch and quickly moved his family to Philadelphia.
They worked hard and saved relentlessly because they knew discipline, consistency, and hard work would open more doors for them.
On today’s episode of Inspire Global, Mr.Kitonga walks us through his journey of owning the resort, his family’s support and why he decided to build it in his rural home

Do the maths. There's NO WAY the Kenyan Teachers salary can and could have done this. Why are people that gullible? Even if he had saved all his salary for all those years he was employed and we know that didn't happen, it would have never been enough to build one of those chalets. Even landscaping that hilly side would have cleared any savings he had accumulated. Telling a fantastic story doesn't make one to be believable and take that from me.

A genius he is. I am sure he also impacted lives of his students positively.
Mr. Kitonga is a true and humble visionary and he puts God first in his life. He is thinking about 5, 10, 15 30 years down the road to improve on his resort and to improve and empower the Community (Hospital, Environment, roads, garden, farming) of Mbiuni. The family is blessed and hope they continue the legacy.
Wooow, huku kuna kaa majuu, that's how black forest resorts in Germany were build very beautiful, big up Kitonga Garden Resort, the resort it's on another level a hidden Gem in paradise, kwa majaliwa huko lazima tukuje kutembea
Finally Lynn I'm so happy to see you uko home ground buana ,huko ndo nyumbani buana , amazing ❤❤ watu mbiuni Mr Kitonga ametupeleka dunia mzima buana❤
22 years as a police officer so my dreams are still valid from this conversation. What I need is God's hand and determination
True leader for his family community and country. Please show us any hospital that has been done for their community their village by the big names in this country
I have to say am really inspired by Mr Kitonga. How would have ever though of building such a resort in a hilly place? This is just incredible. As a fellow diasporan am really challenged. If this guy came to US in 2009 and by then I was here for 7 yrs am really inspired.
He waited for green card till retirement which was the game changer, patience is the key, kudos Kitonga,
From mbiuni division,so happy for my people ❤❤

Am proud of you Mr. Kitonga. My dad who is your cousin brother spoke very well of you. I remember while growing up my grandmother would take me and my brother to this place called Nunguni in Mbiuni, and while she harvested yams, she would cut for us some sugarcane to eat. Kitonga is my great grandfather. Am proud to be part of this family though we have never met but we have spoken. Congratulations for your success.
Amazing! I want to book a flight to Kenya now!! Love these examples of our people!
Mr. Kitonga's story is very inspiring. He is empowering his community in an amazing way. Including them in his vision. With focus, discipline and a great support system, you can make dreams come to life. Thank you for bringing us his story Lynn.

am so challenged and fascinated at the same time. Nilhama kwetu kwa sababu ilikuwa ni mlimani and even when my father was sharing land among his children I declined to take my share and told him to give it to my other siblings. I do not regret my decision, however its important to note that there is no rocky, swampy, hilly or bad land. God created land to look beautiful the ways its is. My uncle told me, "you can live anywhere provided you do not fall sick". That is good work mzee, Congratulations

What a heartwarming story of unity and determination! So lovely to see how a family can come together to create a legacy, all while inspiring and empowering their community. The resort is beautifully designed and compliments the scenic landscape. Congratulations to The Kitonga Family 🎉
I have dreamed about something similar for where I come because of similar topography. I am in the diaspora right now but I will visit this place without a doubt. Thank you Lynn Ngugi for this inspiring episode!
Majestic Perfection. What a beautiful resort. Built so nicely with mother earth. Wonderful legacy for the family and generation of Mr. Kitonga. Sir your family has you to thank for raising them well and giving them good sense of work ethic and morals. Ms. Lynn broadcast his resort as much as you can ; a great place for meetings, get togethers, team bonding and what they call "stay vacation" Hope those who are so excited about getting a green card, they hear what Mr. Kitonga is advising. You must work in Europe or US, and often you have to work at jobs that are below your credentials. You are responsible for all your expenses (food, clothing, shelter, transport, education, etc.,)
What a beautiful place...all this from hard work,determination and persistence...welldone Lyn for bringing this amazing Teacher and his Family to inspire us.
Mr. Kitonga...wow. I have forwarded this clip to someone who needs to be challenged and inspired. Kudos, long live to you and your family legacy ❤
