In a groundbreaking effort to address Zimbabwe's housing challenges, the Destiny of Africa Network is providing affordable and flexible home ownership opportunities to low-income earners, widows, single mothers, informal traders, and even Zimbabweans in the diaspora.

Speaking at the launch of phase three of the housing scheme in Chinhoyi, Reverend Obadiah Musindo, the network's founder, highlighted the program's remarkable achievements. "Under phase one and two, over 50,000 people have managed to get residential stands. Our schemes are designed to enable the majority of our people to have a place," he said.

The housing initiative, launched in 2009 and 2010, has already empowered thousands of teachers, police officers, soldiers, journalists, and other ordinary workers. Reverend Musindo emphasized the network's commitment to inclusivity, stating, "We are targeting many women to ensure they benefit from our housing scheme. We are also targeting young people to make home ownership a reality."

In a significant move, the Destiny of Africa Network is also catering to Zimbabweans in the diaspora. "Even those in the United Kingdom, America, and Canada who have gone out there to find opportunities, we are giving them the same terms and conditions that we are giving to Zimbabweans here at home," Reverend Musindo explained.

The scheme provides beneficiaries with flexible five-year payment plans and assistance with building materials, making it possible for low-income earners and those working abroad to build homes. Reverend Musindo encouraged young professionals to seize this opportunity, aligning with the government's Vision 2030. "By 2030, let it be a realistic goal that you have your own house through affordable housing schemes like Destiny of Africa Network," he said.
