Residential and Commercial Park

On the 22nd of November 2022, Empowa signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Municipal Council of Beira to start mobilizing funding for the construction of apartments in the Residential area of ​​Maraza. The project will consist of building affordable apartments for low and medium-income families that are resilient to the climate changes that the city of Beira has been experiencing, following the model of the CMB master plan.

Empowa is a financial platform that aims to unlock affordable and climate-smart housing opportunities in Africa. In Beira, Empowa works with its partner Casa Real Lda, which has a track record of delivering affordable housing in the Inhamizua area of ​​the city. Empowa already implements a ‘lease to buy’ pilot program in Beira with Casa Real that has the potential to increase access to affordable, climate resilient housing for over 60% of the population city ​​of Beira. This means that teachers, health professionals, fishermen, technicians and domestic workers now have the opportunity to use their formal and informal incomes to access quality, climate-smart homes.
