When Gikonyo's father throws him and his mother out of the house, they are forced to survive on their own. This means Gikonyo's mother has little money to send him to school, so he becomes interested in carpentry. The field of carpentry leads Gikonyo to meet his future wife and became the way he would support himself as an adult.
