There are a number of things that define a man as successful in Kisii highlands.
Men who don't meet the standards are often seen as good-for-nothing fellows.
While those that run their lives conforming to the communal tangent are revered and recognized.
Here are things that will portray you as an achiever in Kisii region.
1. A house
Owning a house is the most cherished possession for a man among Kisii people.
Men who are of age and dating, are expected to build their own households before they marry.
Those incapable of building one, are often disregarded in social functions and ignored as failures.
The house a Kisii man has built will often be a measure for his worth in Gusii region.
2. His family
The size of your family as a Kisii man will give you approval in the society.
You may build castles in your village or be filthy rich, but if you have no next of kin, you lose favour on people's eyes.
It's an ingrained thing in every Kisii man, that once he has a house and a stable income, marrying a 'fertile woman' is the next predictable move.
A wife and offsprings for a Kisii man depict him as free of ancestral curses of impotence.
3. Educated children
There is too much to digest about getting your kids a good education in Kisii society.
Men who school their children up to tertiary institutions are often revered and consulted in societal issues.
While those that saw their children drop out of school, never have a voice in Kisii societies.
Kisiis highly embrace education as it awards status to men who have educated their kids.
How educated your kids are will often portray you as a successful man in Kisii land.
