The Al Asghary Housing Project in Dar es Salaam was a joint project between The World Federation’s humanitarian arm, WF-AID, and Africa Federation, in collaboration with the KSI Jamaat of Dar es Salaam. The aim was to create more housing opportunities for the community members, and most importantly so that they can eventually own their own home. This project was the first Rent-to-Own scheme by the group of organisations.
We are pleased to report that the building work has been completed and the opening ceremony of the Al Asghary Housing Project was held on Sunday 29th April 2018, following the conclusion of the 80th AFED Supreme Council Session.
The ceremony was attended by the President of The World Federation, Alhaj Anwarali Dharamsi, the Chairman of the Africa Federation, Alhaj Shabir Najafi, the President of Dar-Es-Salaam Jamaat, Alhaj Azim Dewji, Former President of the World Federation, Dr. Asgar Moledina, Presidents and Councillors from several Jamaats of the Africa Federation, Trustees, Dignitaries, Invitees and the owners of the flats at Al Asghary Residency who will be moving into their new homes soon.
Alhaj Anwarali Dharamsi, Alhaj Sabir Najafi and Alhaj Azim Dewji all addressed the attendees and thanked the contributors who all helped to make this fantastic project possible. Awards were presented to some of the donors, contractors, engineers, consultants, architects and other people involved in the construction of this building.
The build took a total of 18 months to complete and comprises of 18 apartments (9 two bedroom and 9 three bedroom), three shops, a godown (warehouse) and a spacious rooftop terrace.
We congratulate Africa Federation on the completion and opening of this building and look forward to supporting more such projects in the future.
