KADOMA-Craft Properties (Private) Limited, a leading real estate land developer and construction company with 17 years of excellence in providing innovative and sustainable housing solutions, has pledged to construct 15 housing units for the disabled (PWDs) including albinos.
The company recently donated 15 residential stands at Holyland High Density Suburb in Kadoma to individuals with disabilities and albinism, in line with Zimbabwe’s National Disability Policy, the 2013 Constitution, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
Founder and Chief Executive of Craft Properties, Professor Kudakwashe Taruberekera, a devoted aevangelist with a heart for the marginalized, said the initiative is driven by the company’s desire to promote dignity and inclusion among marginalized communities. “At Craft Properties, we believe that access to decent housing is a fundamental human right. This project is our way of ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind in national development,” said Professor Taruberekera.
As he often preaches, “Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you” (Matthew 5:42). This project is a testament to his commitment to serving others with compassion and kindness.
The project complements government efforts to mainstream persons with disabilities across all sectors of society. The donation of these stands and the pledge to build houses speak to Craft Properties’ commitment to the National Disability Policy and the values enshrined in the Constitution.
Craft Properties will provide labour for the construction of three-roomed houses, each with toilet and bathroom facilities, on all 15 stands, subject to the availability of resources and partnerships. The company is appealing for donations in the form of cash, building materials, construction support, and professional services to make the project a reality.
“We are calling upon partners and well-wishers to join us in transforming these stands into safe and dignified homes,” said Professor Taruberekera. “This initiative will have a lasting impact on the lives of the beneficiaries, improving their living conditions and restoring dignity to some of the most vulnerable members of the Kadoma community.”
