Innovative Financing Solution
Built for Scale.
The Nyumba Fund operates on a Developer-Centred Model, streamlining the entire value chain. By integrating 14Trees' advanced 3D printing technology with Empowa's decentralized financing, we remove the bottlenecks of traditional construction and capital access.
Critical Partnerships
Our success relies on two critical pillars: advanced construction technology and decentralized finance distribution.
14Trees
Construction Technology & Equipment
A joint venture between Holcim and BII, 14Trees is the global leader in 3D printing for construction. This partnership is critical for:
- •Equipment Financing: Access to state-of-the-art 3D printers without heavy upfront capex.
- •Speed & Cost: Printing walls in 12-18 hours, reducing costs by 20% and emissions by 70%.
- •Technical Expertise: On-site support from the world's leading experts in additive manufacturing.
Empowa
Market Access & Liquidity
Empowa leverages blockchain technology to decentralize housing finance. This partnership is critical for:
- •Demand Aggregation: Connecting the Fund's housing stock to a pre-vetted waitlist of 500+ buyers.
- •Liquidity Mechanism: Providing the "take-out" financing (mortgages) that recycles capital back into the Fund.
- •Global Capital: Tapping into the $48B remittance market for retail investment.
A Complete Housing Ecosystem
The Nyumba Fund sits at the center of a powerful ecosystem. We finance the construction, 14Trees executes the build with speed and precision, and Empowa provides the mortgage financing to the end-buyer, recycling capital back into the Fund.
End-to-End Efficiency
From raw materials to mortgage payments, every step is optimized for cost and speed.
De-Risked Execution
Partnering with domain experts reduces operational risk and ensures high-quality delivery.
Note for Diaspora Investors: Individual investors looking to participate in this ecosystem can do so directly through the Empowa Platform, which aggregates retail capital to fund mortgages for these homes.
