Four families have so far benefited from the social housing project. 

The two-bedroom house was funded by the People's Republic of China to the value of N$200,000.

Dawid Boudt and his family of six have lived in this corrugated iron house for more than ten years. He says that the new house is a dream come true.

He thanked everyone who played a role in making their dream of owning a house come true. 

The Chinese Embassy pledged to continue partnering with Namibians to alleviate poverty and improve their living standards.
