Measurable Impact,
Global Goals.
The Nyumba Fund isn't just building houses; we are directly contributing to 5 key UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Affordable, climate-resilient homes delivered by our technology partners during pilot phases.
Metric tons of CO2 avoided vs. traditional cement construction.
Local jobs created in construction, tech, and property management.
No Poverty

Nyumba Impact:
Generating local employment in construction, 3D printing operations, and property management. We prioritize hiring and training local youth in advanced construction technologies.
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure
Target 9.4: Upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies.
Nyumba Impact:
Pioneering the use of 3D printing technology in Africa, reducing material waste by 30% and construction time by 90% compared to traditional methods.
Sustainable Cities & Communities
Target 11.1: Ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums.
Nyumba Impact:
Delivering 20,000+ affordable, climate-resilient homes to low-income families who are currently priced out of the formal market, directly addressing the urban housing crisis.
Climate Action
Target 13.1: Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
Nyumba Impact:
Our homes use Holcim's low-carbon cement (70% less CO2) and are designed with high thermal mass to reduce cooling needs in a warming climate, minimizing the carbon footprint.
