The Project has now completed its first condominium block, providing new homes for people in the current project area. The block includes 40 apartments, which can accommodate individuals and families – including people with physical needs, the elderly, and large families.
The block has now been connected to the city’s utility services, and the beneficiaries are moving in, ready to begin a new stage in their lives. Until now they have been living in ‘transit housing’, following the demolition of their previous sub-standard homes.
Each apartment includes kitchen and bathroom facilities, if the occupants wish to pay for water and power. The block also includes more traditional communal facilities – such as clothes washing stands, latrines, and a wood-fire cooking area. This means that the residents can also choose to live in a more traditional (and lower-cost) way if they wish.
You can see for yourself in the short video below, and share the sense of celebration!
