  Smart Havens Africa (SHA) is social enterprise that provides a pathway to sustainable home ownership for low-and moderate-income Ugandans through a rent-to-own financing model. Research Activities: SHA is a young enterprise and hadn’t yet evaluated its social impact, customer satisfaction, or marketing strategy. We conducted market research by using an automated phone service to randomly survey people in the Kampala area. We gathered data on preferred advertising mediums, important factors in housing decisions, and current housing situations. To establish a baseline for impact assessments, we surveyed former SHA applicants and customers on their financial situation, current house, housing security, and families’ health and safety. To inform recommendations for the business and impact model, we conducted semi-structured interviews with customers over the phone. We asked customers’ thoughts on aspects of SHA’s houses, the house-buying process, why they selected SHA, and how their lives have changed since buying a house from SHA. Key Findings: - SHA needs to alter its business model to improve customer experience post-sale. - SHA’s needs to create a marketing plan that effectively targets potential SHA customers that meet SHA’s social and financial needs. - SHA needs to implement a system to track its impact and understand how to improve over time. Deliverables: - Business Development Report. Based on market research and customer interviews, this report contains recommendations for SHA to alter its business model to improve customer experience and to create a marketing plan that effectively targets potential SHA customers that meet SHA’s social and financial needs. - Preliminary Impact Report. This analyzes how SHA has impacted the lives of its current customers and establishes a system that will help SHA to continue tracking and understanding its impact for years to come. Show less
