ISIDIMA Housing Development (NPC) is a Not-for-Profit Company dedicated to transforming lives in South Africa by creating dignified, safe, and secure homes where families can thrive. We focus on restoring and improving homes built under the Integrated Serviced Land Programme (iSLP) in the Western Cape, prioritizing skilled labor, increased funding, and stakeholder collaboration to build a better future for our communities.
Inspired by the iSLP’s holistic approach, we go beyond simply providing housing. We believe in integrated development, addressing the need for education, health, economic opportunity, and human development alongside housing initiatives. This ensures long-term, sustainable results and empowers communities to break the cycle of poverty. Through our integrated construction services and sustainable housing solutions, we strive to create a sense of stability, unity, and well-being in these under-served areas incl. Delft, Eisleben, Samora Machel, Phillippi East, and Khayelitsha.

Our mission is multifaceted, encompassing not only the physical construction of homes but also the empowerment of individuals and the creation of opportunities for growth and prosperity.

Our goal is to provide families with safe, comfortable, and dignified living spaces that they can truly call home.

Our projects create numerous jobs in both skilled and unskilled labor sectors, providing sustainable livelihoods and contributing to the growth of the local economy.
