Mlamuli Dlamini’s life has been transformed by a government initiative aimed at improving housing for vulnerable citizens in Eswatini.
After years of living in a handmade stick-and-mud house, Mlamuli now enjoys a modern double-storey home, thanks to the government’s social housing support initiatives. This project reflects a commitment to uplift the lives of those in need and has garnered admiration both locally and internationally.
Eswatini’s Innovative Housing Initiative
The construction of Mlamuli’s new home marks a significant milestone in Eswatini’s efforts to provide safe and dignified housing. Built by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, this modern structure is the first of its kind under the country’s social housing program. It not only offers safety and comfort but also restores dignity to Mlamuli and his family.
This initiative is part of a broader national effort that has seen the government construct over 80 houses for elderly and needy citizens since 2023. Each home symbolizes stability and hope for families who previously faced challenging living conditions.
