Programme concept. Proposed programme concept, not yet an operating project. Locations, budgets and partners are confirmed through feasibility and partner agreements.
Programme overview
The practical application of AMAF's Sustainable Community Model: an integrated programme bringing housing, solar power, water, sanitation, a school, a clinic, food systems, livelihoods and connectivity to one community at a time.
Intended community benefits
- All essential services in one place
- Infrastructure that supports itself
- Local jobs and enterprise
- A model that can be replicated
- Stronger community governance
The problem
Single-sector projects often fail because the surrounding essentials are missing. A clinic without water, or homes without livelihoods, cannot deliver lasting change.
Proposed interventions
- Community master planning
- Housing and infrastructure
- Solar mini-grid
- Water and sanitation
- School and clinic
- Farming and enterprise support
- Digital hub
