Meet Elena, Francisco & Family
“Here we have more privacy and a place of our own. So there is no comparison.”
Meet Elizabeta, Malvin & Family
“This came as a very great opportunity to us, and i recommend this opportunity to anyone else who comes across it.”
Meet Morlyn & Family
“Getting funding from the bank, is also very difficult, so this has been a very great opportunity of a lifetime.”
Meet Eliza
“It’s great because, rent doesn’t mean the house is yours, but rent-to-buy, it means one day the house will be your own.”
Meet Carolina
“When I heard about this scheme, I really felt happy to be a part of it, because it makes it easy for people like us to own houses.”
