25 houses completed - the first tenants move in

"Five, four, three, two, one..." With this countdown, Housing! for Future managing directors Stefan Bürger and Konstanze Dürotin cut the red ribbon together with other supporters to open the first neighborhood built by H!fF in Africa.

A lot of work and passion went into the project: "A vision has become reality," said Stefan Bürger. "It is our duty to help people in need. Here they get a good quality of life for a low rent." And more houses are gradually being built for which donations are needed.

The official inauguration ceremony was opened with traditional dances by local schoolgirls. This was followed by a tour of the neighborhood and one of the houses as well as interviews with three of the first tenants. The first 25 houses were built entirely on the basis of donations. Now the first tenants can look forward to a new and hygienic home with plenty of space, a fully equipped kitchen and green spaces.

H!fF is a non-profit initiative of the German real estate industry that was launched in 2019 by GWH Wohnungsgesellschaft and Nassauische Heimstätte. We were later able to gain INDUSTRIA WOHNEN GmbH as a further supporter.

The inauguration ceremony was broadcast via livestream on YouTube. Did you miss it? You can watch the ceremony here: https://www.youtube.com/@housingforfuture/streams
