Global Social Project in the context of the full time MBA program.Provide a funding strategy for affordable housing in Monte Christo urban development in Namibia.The current housing system in Namibia is widely described as in crisis. Housing available on the ‘market’ is out of reach for the vast majority of people. Demand for affordable housing is high, however the very limited access to financing (home loans) for low- and middle-income earners makes it difficult to tap the demand.The aim of our project is to determine the credit profiles of future inhabitants and to provide a funding strategy for affordable housing in Monte Christo, Namibia.
