Four Buy-a-Brick homes in Okahandja

Four families in the Oshetu 1 community of Okahandja received the keys to newly constructed homes this week through the Standard Bank Namibia Buy-a-Brick initiative.

The handover forms part of Standard Bank Namibia's N$2.5 million investment in the Buy-a-Brick programme, implemented in partnership with the Shack Dwellers Federation of Namibia and the Namibia Housing Action Group.

The Okahandja homes were made possible through the support of Vivo Energy Namibia, BodyWise, Standard Bank Private Bank and Ninety One Namibia.

"Today is not simply about handing over houses. It is about creating a place where families can build their futures with greater security and peace of mind. A home provides a foundation from which people can pursue opportunities, support their children and plan for the years ahead," Standard Bank Namibia's Nelson Lucas said.

Lucas added that the Buy-a-Brick Initiative is an example of what can be achieved when corporate partners, community organisations and residents work together towards a common goal.
