We wish to inform our Community members, especially members of KSI Jamaat of Arusha regarding the progress of Al Mahdi Housing Development Project of the KSI Jamaat Arusha.
It is heartening to witness the Project progressing well at a steady pace in line with the plan for completion. The AFED Housing Development Board with the support of the Jamaat are working in collaboration with the contractor and engineers to complete the project in time despite some unforeseen challenges faced by the Board recently.

Like any other importer, we too faced a number of challenges with the freight costs, shipping etc. Alhamdullilah, we managed to get four containers of tiles and other building materials reach the site in Arusha for the Project with minimum delay. Just a brief update: The internal tiling works has reached 55% and paint works at 70%, on the other hand the wood works has reached 45% and aluminium 30%. This we believe has been a remarkable effort jointly in order to complete the Project on time.

The 8th site meeting was held on 16th May 2024, and the team were satisfied with the ongoing works including the quality and timeframe.
Similarly, the plumbing installation has been completed and tiling work is ongoing, while 60% of the electrical works is completed. In addition, the external paint work is 50% completed.

With the blessings of Allah (SWT) and the cooperation of our members and the contractor, it is expected that the Project will be completed according to the timeframe drawn for this Project.
We request members of our Community to extend their financial support towards this Project.
