Building homes for those in
need, together with Selavip
As an internationally established NGO,
Selavip has been funding housing projects
for poor families in cities in Latin America,
Africa, and Asia for over 40 years. Its main
goal is to promote initiatives to address the
most urgent housing needs of the urban
poor.
As a partner of Selavip, Etex has been
donating various building materials for
local projects for a couple of years now. In
2014, we donated materials with a value of
100,000 euro in Nigeria and Indonesia.
Nigeria
In Nigeria, our company Nigerite Limited
installed 24 units of terraced residential
buildings in the community of Luvu-
Madaki. This happened in collaboration
with the Fuller Foundation. We used dry
construction technology, which allows a
short construction timeframe (8 weeks) at
affordable costs.
qqIn Nigeria, many people are living in poor housing
conditions or do not have a roof above their heads. The
country’s housing deficit has been estimated at over 16
million. To do its bit, our company Nigerite contributed to a
local housing project, constructing 24 terraced residential
buildings within just 8 weeks.
Indonesia
In Indonesia, we worked together with the
NGO Habitat for Humanity on a renovation
project in the village of Tegalsari. Donating
building materials, we renovated 50 homes
in a deprived neighbourhood. On top of
our solutions for ceiling, partitioning and
cladding, we gave logistic and engineering
support.
QQIn Indonesia, Etex supported local renovation projects.
At the house of Mrs Lusiati, a 72-year-old widow, we installed
an extra floor made of Kalsi building boards.
