Wandar Village

In Uganda, quality housing is a dream far fetched to the low income earners. Having been a victim of poor housing and suffering intestinal cancer, I would use the Elevate Prize fund to mnufamd donate houses to the Refugee communities and the slums. 

This would bring back a smile and life to young children and families within Uganda. 

Growing up, I was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, and this was due to the poor house we lived in with my mother. The house emitted poisonous fumes from the walls and ceilings and this affected me.  I kept loosing bit per bit of the intestines each fortnight till I had none and I passed on!!. After 12 days in the freezer in a mortuary, I awoke on the day of my burial. It's a miracle that I am alive today. 

It has since been my pain seeing people live poorly due to their incomes. Children nolonger dance in the rain, when clouds form, worry wears their faces for their house might pass with the winds or the rain and left with nothing at all. 

My goal is to change the housing in Uganda. As I start a company of making prefab houses, I intend to sell to the upper class and donate freely to the low class. 

Wandar Village is an architectural, design and construction company that creates innovative living and housing solutions to solve pain points for various clients. 

Wandar Village manufactures standard prefab house units (one to 4 bedroom units) that it sells to the middle and high income earners and donates freely to the low income earners in slums and refugee settlements. 

We manufacture prefab house units using Steel and EPS Panels, then clad or plaster them; each house has pre electric and plumbing connections before transported to the site. 

Our uniqueness is 

1. Offer the houses at a low cost compared to the traditional ones on market 

2. Allowance of a mortgage payment plan with upto one year interest free rate. 

3. We cross sell to the middle amd hi-end so as to freely donate to the low-end in slums and refugee settlements. 

Wandar Village's Imapct:

1. Donation of the houses to the slums and refugee settlements, hence Sheltering Lives. 

For each premium house sold at $25000, one house worth $5000 is donated. 

2. Job opportunities to the low educated communities as laborers. The local community persons are trained on the hands-on labor work and taken on as workers; supporting them earn a living.
