Last week, our directors Lusanda Netshitenzhe and Ilona Roodt CA (SA) had a productive and rich session with our longstanding partner Proparco at their headquarters in Paris. Together, we’re committed to driving #sustainableurbanization and empowering housing entrepreneurs in South Africa. Since 2023, with the invaluable support of the European Union, Proparco has been fueling TUHF’s growth. Through the CERTAF Facility, we pledged to integrate environmental and social values into our operations via the implementation of a customized Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS), ensuring that we can continue to provide affordable housing solutions while adhering to the highest standards of sustainability. This partnership strengthens our mission: supporting property entrepreneurs while amplifying our environmental and social contributions. Together, we are not just building a business - we’re building a positive legacy for the communities we serve. #SustainableGrowth #UrbanDevelopment #Proparco #EUGlobalGateway #UrbanRegeneration

Why you need equity to turn your township property into income-producing rental assets. For any commercial investment property transactions, there is a loan portion and a portion that the investor provides in the form of cash. At uMaStandi, we partner with entrepreneurs who are willing to stake a portion of their own equity into the project. 100 % loans are a thing of the past.
