Addressing the housing accessibility gap

Less than 3% of Africans have access to housing finance. Empowa addresses this by increasing access to housing finance in urban populations from 3% to 60%.

Climate-smart affordable homes

With 70% of all buildings expected to exist in 2040 in Africa are yet to be built. If we don’t start building more sustainable today, the pressures on climate change will only increase.

Empowa works with partners who focus on sustainable construction i.e homes built, designed, constructed and operated in a way that minimizes their impact on the environment. These homes use materials and technologies that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and conserve natural resources. Ultimately, environmentally sustainable homes aim to provide a comfortable, healthy living environment while minimizing their carbon footprint and ecological impact.
