Livable Home
Livable Home offers comprehensive living solutions, taking care of the entire planning process and construction management. In order to create a higher living standard in tropical areas, they developed an affordable, sustainable house type in Tanzania. Making use of local resources, they just started construction in Zanzibar. The bamboo factory where the houses will be pre-fabricated is one of the first in the whole of Africa. In order to construct and produce with bamboo, a bamboo workshop and multiple training courses were given by Vinc Math.
Livable Home is a partner of the development project “Fumba Town”, which is creating a higher living standard for the local community in Zanzibar by developing a new city in the south-west of Zanzibar.
