Published purpose

The project aims to reach 10,800 households and over 54,000 slum dwellers by building the capacity of local partners to undertake activities in housing support services, housing microfinance, HIV and AIDS prevention and urban agriculture. The project intends to benefit 7,800 poor families in Sub Saharan Africa to either secure home ownership or improve their existing homes. Additionally, the project will help 1,000 families affected by HIV and AIDS to access housing services and also help improve the food security situation of 2,000 urban households. The project will also increase interest among Canadian housing related networks to respond to urban poverty and human settlement challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa.
