At the heart of Eldoret City, iconic affordable housing projects are rising with remarkable momentum. These include 226 housing units at AMS in Kimumu Ward, 2,188 units at Eldoret Railway City, 220 units at Kidiwa I, 2,004 units at Kidiwa II, and 2,148 units at Pioneer, collectively redefining our urban skyline.
As an administration, we are proud to have played a facilitative role by providing land to accelerate this transformative agenda. This includes 10 acres for the AMS project, 22 acres for the Kidiwa developments, and 13 acres for the Pioneer project.
In addition, these projects have created employment opportunities for thousands of our young people. Our local Jua Kali artisans, both men and women, have also directly benefited through the supply of doors, windows, and other construction materials, thereby strengthening the local economy.
The affordable housing program in Eldoret, located in the Soy Constituency near Kidiwa Primary School. It has made significant strides since the contractor took over the site earlier this year.
The project includes approximately 220 housing units, comprising studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. The developers expect to complete it within two years.
Following Eldoret’s recent elevation to city status, the affordable housing program aims to support the anticipated population growth by delivering over 5,000 housing units across the city. The project is also benefiting the local community by creating direct and indirect employment opportunities.
