Our Story
AFFORDABLE CRESTACO PROPERTIES is a wholly Zimbabwean owned organization that was officially registered as a Trust in 2012 (Reg No. MA 1251/12).
The Trust has a national appeal as it has an intention to have a branch network in all the 10 provinces of the country. To date, the Trust has a national membership of over 1500 and 3 branches.
The core mandate of the Trust is to mobilize urban and rural low-income citizens for a collective action in pursuit of the goal of Social Housing Delivery. The Trust came into being after the realization that urban and rural low-income earners were individually unable to afford and realize the dream of homeownership. However, if mobilized, the same group would achieve home ownership through collective action.
