Finally owning a home is a dream come true.
Rosli used to get by on expensive rentals, which would severely eat into his finances. Together with his five children, paying rent was often a struggle. As a person struggling with various physical and mental disabilities, earning an income was also becoming more and more difficult. Being ostracized and looked down upon by his village, he struggled to receive any help from his community. Altogether his poor finances and struggling health put him and his family on a course for homelessness, without proper intervention.
After being introduced to Rosli, Affordable Abodes quickly set about designing a home to meet the needs of Rosli and his young family. Inspired by the vision for a modern and yet cost-effective home, able to grow with the family’s needs, Affordable Abodes was able to construct Rosli’s new home in a record 30 days, where it would normally have taken 80-90 days.
Today, Rosli is a proud recipient of a Kenafcrete home, and a passionate advocate for its benefits. “The house has been comfortable and cool even during the day”, Rosli remarked, after moving into his new home. From being looked down upon, Rosli’s home now stands as a shining example of the capabilities of Kenafcrete technology, a pioneer in the realm of sustainable construction, and the pride of his village.
