Climate smart homes 

change everything.

Free from the rental trap families can build secure and thriving futures.
The challenge
By 2030, an estimated 3 billion people will be living without adequate shelter. In order to meet this growing demand, we will have to build 50 homes per minute before 2030.

Building 2 million new affordable homes in Africa will create over 25 million jobs and an income increase of at least $25 billion, which will be equivalent to about 1% of Africa’s Annual GDP!
The Solution
Smart Havens Africa build climate smart, affordable homes. As a social enterprise our aim is to drive profits back into the company ensuring more women and their children are lifted out of rental poverty.

 With full legal ownership, our homes bring financial stability and a foundation from which to build a happy, healthy life.

Building a better future  for our families and our planet

Traditional methods of home building do not meet the ever-growing housing needs. They also don’t address the environmental challenges our planet is facing.We have developed breakthrough solutions to build homes in a smarter, faster, more economical way.

Our homes are made from eco-friendly durable bricks that are compressed on site.These compressed earth bricks reduce CO2 emissions and are 4 x stronger that traditional bricks.

The care we show for the environment extends to our homeowners.All families have full, legal ownership of the land where their home is built so they can never be evicted.

And each home comes with the resources every family needs, including water, power and proximity to career and educational opportunities.

Building career   Opportunities for women

Our aim is to strengthen the communities we create by providing work opportunities for the women who live there.

Our homes are built by women for women.

We pioneer financing options that

 unlocks opportunities

We have pioneered financial models that offer a sustainable route to homeownership for low-income families who have been excluded by traditional banking systems. When people have the chance to build their credit and achieve homeownership, they are more likely to break the cycle of poverty and establish long-term stability for future generations
