Earthquake resistant:
Laboratory tests carried out showed that
the structure withstands, with no damages, strains greater
than those calculated for a First Class Earthquake, that
is the maximum provided for by the Italian Earthquake regulation.

A home not only gives these people protection from
the elements but it improves their self esteem and more importantly
it brings hope. Home ownership provides families a sustainable home
and gives children a save place to grow up. Hope Housing Africa
is the first step to change their lives and gives them hope for
a better future.
After the construction we will work with our local
Community partner to continue with support in education and community
development. We believe that a house is a first step towards a better
future.
Mission Principles:
1. Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ.
Hope Housing Africa desires to demonstrate the love of Jesus and
to be the “hands and feet” of that love to the African
Refugee Communities.
2. Focus on housing.
Hope Housing Africa we believe will manifest God’s love,
to create opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable
homes We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate or
restore homes, and by partnering with communities Hope Housing Africa believes we can provide affordable housing as a foundation
for breaking the cycle of poverty.
3. Affordable housing.
In response to the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, to
love mercy and to walk humbly with God, Hope Housing Africa looks
to promote decent, affordable housing for those most needing it
in Uganda initially and then Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, DR Congo and
northern Malawi.
4. Promote Hope.
Hope Housing Africa believes that no one lives in dignity until
everyone lives in dignity. We believe that every person has something
to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in
which all people have decent, affordable places to live. We believe
that dignity and hope are best achieved through home ownership and
community responsibility.
5. Support sustainable and transformational
development.
Hope Housing Africa seeks to transforms lives and promote positive
lasting social, economic and Spiritual change within a community.
This is often best achieved through fully shared accomplishments
gives residents a chance to fully develop.
