Socialite Lydia Wanjiru has shared insights into her upbringing, revealing how growing up in a wealthy family influenced her personal habits and comfort with modern amenities. In a candid statement, Wanjiru explained that she has never been able to use pit latrines, a common type of toilet in many Kenyan households. She said she grew up with modern toilet facilities and has continued to use the same type to this day.
According to Wanjiru, visiting homes with traditional pit latrines was always challenging. “Whenever I could visit homesteads with pit latrines, I used to struggle a lot because it’s not something I have ever become used to,” she said. Her admission underscores how upbringing and early access to certain facilities can shape a person’s habits, preferences, and adaptability to different environments.
The socialite’s remarks have sparked discussions on social media, with many users reflecting on the differences in living standards across Kenya and how early exposure to comfort or wealth can influence perspectives later in life. While some praised Wanjiru for her honesty, others highlighted that such experiences reflect broader social inequalities in access to sanitation and modern amenities.
Wanjiru’s revelation serves as a reminder of the role upbringing plays in shaping individual comfort levels and expectations. It also brings attention to the ongoing need for equitable access to sanitation facilities across the country, ensuring that all citizens can enjoy dignity and safety in their daily lives.
