Living in a decent house is one of the factors that defines a decent and dignified life.

This is a satisfying life for 70 residents of Okahao in the Omusati Region who moved into their new houses constructed by the National Housing Enterprise (NHE).

The houses were constructed at a cost of N$27.3 million by the second contractor after the first one failed to deliver.

He, however, applauded women for taking the lead in building houses
