Today, Habitat for Humanity Zambia in partnership with the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources marked a significant milestone with the handover of Certificates of Title to 85 families in Makululu, Kabwe. The event, officiated by Central Province Permanent Secretary, Dr. Milner Mwanakampwe, was also graced by Kabwe District Commissioner, Mr. Lennox Shimwambwa, and other key stakeholders from the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, underscoring a shared commitment under the National Land Titling Programme to improving the lives of vulnerable communities through secure land ownership.

These certificates go beyond legal documentation, they represent security, dignity, and opportunity. With 99-year tenure, beneficiary families now have protection from displacement and the confidence to invest in their homes, livelihoods, and future. This effort, supported by the Selavip Foundation through the Home Equals: Access to Security of Tenure project, is part of a broader goal to reach 462 households while prioritizing women, youth, and marginalized groups.

This progress demonstrates the power of collaboration in driving sustainable development. By strengthening land tenure systems, this initiative is helping build resilient communities and advancing the vision of a Zambia where every family has a safe and secure place to call home.

In her speech, Habitat for Humanity Zambia National Director, Ms. Ruth Mitimingi-Nabutali, said this milestone reflects the transformative power of secure land tenure, noting that it provides families with stability, encourages investment in housing, and strengthens community resilience.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting the Habitat for Humanity Uganda National Director, Mr. Paul Okiring, alongside the Partnership and Resource Development Manager, Mr. Ganafa Sumani. Their visit aimed to gain insights into how we effectively collaborate with corporate partners in advancing our shared vision of a world where everyone has access to decent housing.

During their stay, they visited key partners, including Zambia Airports Corporation Limited, Chilanga Cement PLC, and the Zambia National Building Society. The engagements were highly productive, and the Uganda team expressed appreciation for the valuable discussions, which will support them in strengthening their approach to working with corporate partners.

The visit also provided an opportunity to strengthen regional collaboration and knowledge sharing within the Habitat for Humanity network. By exchanging experiences, best practices, and lessons learned, both teams reinforced their commitment to building sustainable partnerships that drive impact, ultimately contributing to improved housing solutions and community development across the region.

Last week, Habitat for Humanity Zambia conducted refresher trainings for Savings Group Agents (SGAs) from Lusaka and Kabwe districts under the Creating Access to Safe housing Project. The sessions brought together agents from various communities to strengthen and refresh their knowledge on safe housing practices and community safeguarding.

The refresher trainings are aimed at enhancing the SGAs’ capacity to effectively support and guide communities on safe and adequate housing solutions. Key areas of focus included safeguarding standards and behavior, habitability standards, construction processes, home improvement, water supply systems and borehole drilling, as well as the roadmap for accessing housing loans and other housing solutions.

As trusted community champions, the SGAs continue to play an important role in promoting safer, healthier, and more resilient homes within their communities. By strengthening their knowledge and practical understanding, the trainings are helping to ensure that families are better informed on housing improvement options that contribute to improved living conditions and overall well-being.

Habitat for Humanity Zambia remains committed to empowering communities with practical knowledge and sustainable solutions that advance access to decent and safe housing for all.

Last week, Habitat for Humanity Zambia represented by Program Manager Farai Shumba was privileged to participate at the launch of the Africa Urban Housing Practitioners Hub (AUHPH) in Nairobi, Kenya. The Hub is a regional multi stakeholder platform to promote knowledge exchange and collaboration in advancing sustainable housing and urban development solutions in African cities.

Africa is the world’s fastest urbanising region facing a complex housing deficit of over 56 million housing units, with over 238 million people residing in overcrowded and unsafe informal settlements. The housing challenges in Africa are further compounded by an estimated USD$1.4 trillion housing finance gap that limit both supply side development and demand side access to homeownership.

The AUHPH strongly resonates with Habitat for Humanity’s “Let’s Open the Door” global campaign that has aims to increase access to affordable housing as the organisation celebrates its 50 year anniversary.
