On June 10, 2026, the Rwanda Social Housing Fund (FHS) and ADHI International signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop 1,000 green housing units. The homes will be certified under the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) green building standard, which ensures energy and water savings.
The agreement was announced during a ceremony in Kigali, attended by officials from both organizations. The project aims to address Rwanda's urban housing deficit while promoting sustainable construction practices.
EDGE certification requires homes to achieve at least 20% savings in energy, water, and embodied energy in materials. The units will be built using local materials and designed to reduce carbon emissions.
This initiative aligns with Rwanda's Vision 2050 goals for sustainable urban development and affordable housing. No timeline or location for construction has been disclosed yet.
