A home for every home sold.

Arada and The Big Heart Foundation launched the first Home for a Home Ramadan initiative to provide secure and sanitary homes for refugee families in Kenya’s Kalobeyei settlement.

For every home sold at Masaar during Ramadan, a home would be built for a vulnerable family, with the campaign expected to support nearly 2,000 refugees. The initiative also included investment in sustainable water infrastructure, providing 100,000 litres of water a week for refugees and the surrounding host community.

Developed with UNHCR, the programme was designed to create lasting impact by combining housing, clean water, community infrastructure and opportunities for stronger social cohesion between refugees and host communities.
