Smart Havens Africa

High housing costs, limited financial resources and entrenched gender disparities have made homeownership a distant dream for many low-income women in Africa.

With only 1 in 10 able to acquire land, buy construction materials and pay for labour to construct a home. many pay a large portion of their income in rent, fall into debt traps with high-risk lenders, and remain trapped in poverty.

Founded in 2018, Smart Havens Africa is a Uganda social enterprise that helps low-income Women escape poverty by owning land and climate-smart homes built by women, gain financial independence and thrive through an income-based plan, training and land equity

We exist to advance our vision – An Africa without housing poverty.
