Jenga Boma Polepole is a community-based housing and development program by BomaRise Africa designed to help low-income families achieve their housing and essential infrastructure goals step by step, at a pace they can afford.
The program is built around the simple idea that you don’t have to build everything at once. You can start small, save consistently, and gradually build toward a better home.
Through affordable membership, regular savings, community participation, and structured project support, members can work toward projects such as:
- Decent and permanent/semi-permanent homes
- Safe sanitation facilities
- Clean water solutions, including wells and boreholes
- Building materials and construction support
- Home and compound improvements
BomaRise Africa helps members turn their savings and plans into practical projects while providing guidance throughout the building journey.
